Ged Grimes, business unit director for Conex Bänninger in the UK and Ireland, said: “As a business, we have earned an enviable reputation with merchants and installers for the quality of our compression, solder ring and end-feed solutions.
“We also recognise there’s still a massive opportunity for us to increase our share of the press-fit market too through our innovative range of >B< Press solutions. The appointments of Brett and Noel, who both bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to their roles, forms part of our investment to further strengthen and expand our UK sales team and achieve this.
“Brett’s manufacturing experience and the reputation he has developed over the years with merchants, coupled with Noel’s expertise on the distribution and merchant side of the industry with VIP, is going to be invaluable to support Conex Bänninger’s objectives for growth. I wish them both every success in their new roles.”
