RTS Forestry Ltd strengthens leadership with three senior promotions

RTS Forestry Ltd has announced three key senior appointments, effective from 1 October. The changes come as the company continues to expand across its divisions, reinforcing its position as a leading forestry management firm. Ross Kennedy has been promoted to joint managing director, sharing the role with Norman O’Neill. His promotion highlights the company’s confidence in its future growth and development plans. Kennedy expressed enthusiasm for working with the strengthened board and management team to drive the business forward.

Sandy Pringle takes on the role of forestry director, while Mike Coles becomes woodfuel director. These appointments reflect the trust placed in RTS staff by the boards of both RTS and its parent company, SWL. Based in Crieff, Inverurie, Inverness, and Hexham, RTS Forestry Ltd specialises in energy infrastructure, consultancy, and woodfuel. The new leadership structure aims to support its ongoing expansion across all areas of operation.

The appointments mark a strategic step in RTS Forestry Ltd’s growth. With Kennedy, Pringle, and Coles now in place, the company looks to build on its reputation as a key player in forestry management. The changes take effect from the start of October.
