They are single- and multi-spindle turning machines built by Index and its subsidiary, Traub; 3- to 5-axis machining centres manufactured by Hermle; and grinding machines produced by Haas Schleifmaschinen.
Headquartered in Gosport, Geo Kingsbury set up a new Grinding Technology (GT) division earlier this year in its Birmingham office on Blythe Valley Business Park. This is where Hughes will be based, working alongside the firm’s Large Prismatic Machines (LPM) division.
Hughes joins from another multi-agency machining centre and lathe distributor in the Midlands, where he was technical director for four years.
