“I have been involved with the precision engineering sector since 2001, including starting and growing my own subcontract machining business that supplied complex machined parts to Formula One, medical and horology customers across the UK and Europe,” says Warren. “In late 2017 I decided to take a step back, sell the business and take time out to recharge my batteries. Once fully refreshed it was time to get back to work and take on new challenges, which coincided with seeing the advert for this role at XYZ Machine Tools.”
Taking on the position of area sales manager will enable Warren to reignite his involvement with precision engineering and, put his 18 years’ experience in solving engineering problems to good use by getting back face-to-face with customers.
“The big attraction of joining XYZ Machine Tools was the overall attitude of the company, where you get immediate answers to questions,” he says. “This, combined with the extensive machine range, should allow me to develop the sales area and generate strong revenue streams for the business.”
Nigel Atherton, managing director at XYZ Machine Tools, says: “Ben will be a valuable addition to our sales team and his experience of running a precision engineering company will give him fantastic insight into what customers are looking for in a machine tool and a machine tool supplier. His enthusiasm for the challenges that lie ahead will ensure he hits the ground running.”
