Formerly key account manager at Sandvik Coromant UK, Battison joined Walter GB in January to ensure a smooth handover at the company’s Bromsgrove headquarters. With extensive experience in sales, business development and leadership, the apprentice-trained 41-year-old also holds an MSc degree.
Battison says: “Gerry and the team here have established a UK market-leading operation spearheaded by a comprehensive range of products and services. Combined with its Walter ‘Engineering Kompetenz’ expertise, it consistently helps solve production problems in the most cost-effective manner. A major aim will be to reinforce that philosophy by growing our partnerships with existing customers while also continuing to extend into new business areas.”
