Regional sales manager for South Yorkshire and Scotland appointed by Ward Hi Tech

"Paul's appointment is crucial to the company's expansion plans and he brings with him over 34 years' experience in the engineering industry," said UK & Ireland sales manager Mike Burke. "We have been looking for a high calibre sales manager for Scotland for some time, as we now have a portfolio of products that lends itself to the oil and gas, power generation and renewable energy sectors, all of which are strong in this part of the country." "Paul has many years of experience in Scotland and knows the area and the customers well, so we are hoping to make great inroads into an area that, in the past, we have struggled with." Mr D'Arras teed off his new position with a visit to the recent Offshore Europe exhibition in Aberdeen, where he met one of his lifelong hero's, the golfing legend Colin Montgomery, who was also attending Offshore Europe at the same time, in a fund-raising capacity. "It was the chance of a lifetime meeting 'Monty' and was the 'icing on the cake' to the start of my career at Ward Hi Tech, it was only a shame he didn't have time for a quick round!"
