The firm has created the new position to streamline and harmonise its business development and sales departments. It says that the new structure will create a synergy that will benefit both the customers and the internal divisions of Houghton in the future.
Bartle joined Houghton in 2010 as a technical account manager and has since progressed his career within the company, taking on a number of key roles.
Says Bartle: “I am delighted to be given the opportunity to drive this strategy forward. Houghton International is a business that has been built upon the principles of developing groundbreaking fluid solutions and supporting these products with technical expertise that benefits the manufacturing industry worldwide.
“With the sales division working even closer with the business development and technical departments, the successful delivery of a world leading brand and its benefits can be further imparted upon the UK manufacturing sector.”
