Lamp takes helm of CSBP

CSBP has appointed Catch's head of finance Ryan Lamp as general manager to replace Mark Scatena, who is moving on to the fertiliser firm’s parent company Wesfarmers.

Mr Lamp has held various roles for Wesfarmers and Wesfarmers Chemical Energy and Fertilisers since joining the conglomerate in 2008, including 10 years of management with WesCEF.

Those roles include stints as WesCEF’s business development manager and CSBP’s operations manager where he was responsible for fertiliser imports, manufacturing, storage and despatch in Kwinana and the regional network.

He has spent the past two years working as Catch’s chief financial officer, an online retailer purchased by Wesfarmers for $230 million in 2019.

Mr Lamp said he was excited to step up to the role.

“I feel privileged to lead a fantastic team supporting a trusted business well-positioned in a growing addressable market,” he said.

“CSBP has a very talented and capable team, and, in many ways, it feels like I am returning to where I belong.

“I look forward to supporting the team in creating value for our customers through the team’s focus on the best advice, experience and reliability.”

Mr Scatena, who leaves the role after two-and-a-half years, said his successor was a “fantastic” appointment for the company.

“Ryan will bring a collaborative leadership style, exceptional financial acumen and broad business experience to the role of General Manager,” he said.

“Ryan’s deep understanding of the CSBP business, together with his recent experience as Chief Financial Officer in the online business, Catch, sees him well-positioned to lead CSBP Fertilisers and leverage the growth opportunities available.”
