To support the anticipated expansion in sales and future product development, three new senior management roles have been created which are to be filled by existing members of staff.
Steve Moss is to be appointed sales and marketing manager. This role will oversee both internal and external sales functions (including export) and the company's overall marketing strategy.
Duncan Ray is to become supply chain and new product introduction manager, to implement a more organised and formal new product development process into the company.
Andrew Lanworn will be appointed as finance manager and company secretary.
Chris Turner continues in his role as general manager, with full responsibility for engineering, production and assembly.
Gary Stevens, MD, says: “I would like to congratulate the new senior management team on their appointments and I look forward to working with them in order to make the plan a reality and in turn see us grow significantly over the next five years. We have some significant opportunities open to us that will ensure that the company has a secure and prosperous future, we have some exciting times ahead of us!”
Roger Kemp, chairman, adds: “I have no doubt that the changes present some exciting new opportunities for people to develop within the business. I see it as the start of a new chapter in the development of Focus SB as a major electrical accessory manufacturer in the UK.”
