Ridgway Machines has appointed
David Enslin as sales manager.
Last year, Ridgway’s commitment
to supporting rapid business
growth and success in global
markets led to the company
moving to a new manufacturing
facility.
Three times larger than its
previous factory, over 90 per cent
of products are now exported to
customers worldwide.
Mr Enslin’s role is to develop
and support international sales
growth, focusing on key overseas
regions and the Ridgway agent
and distributor network. He will
provide comprehensive technical
and commercial solutions for the
diverse requirements of Ridgway
customers, ranging from small
independent local companies to
large multi-national corporations.
He has ten years’ technical
experience in HT (high tension)
power applications, focusing on
the installation, commissioning
and maintenance of asynch-
ronous and synchronous HV
(high voltage) motors and
their respective MCCs (motor
control centres). He worked on
distribution networks including
cast resin and liquid-filled
step-down transformers. This
experience was gained in heavy
process industries such as paper
and sugar manufacturing.
Sales and marketing director
Andy Clarke said: “I am delighted
to welcome David to our
expanding sales and marketing
team at this exciting time in the
company’s progression. This
appointment will enable us to
address significant opportunities
for our diverse range of precision
taping and winding machinery
in high growth sectors such as
power and energy.”
Ridgway Machines recently
won a further contract for the
international ITER fusion energy
project.
