Former CRH boss joins UDG Healthcare

Former CRH chief executive Myles Lee has joined the board of UDG Healthcare in a non-executive capacity.

Mr Lee — who left the building materials giant in 2013 after six years as chief executive — joins the UDG board in early April.

UDG — formerly United Drug — yesterday said it made a good start to its current financial year, with acquisitions helping to boost operating profits for the first quarter, the three months to the end of December, “well ahead” of the same period last year.
