Starting as a mechanical craft machinist at British Steel in 1993, Pearce then progressed through aerospace sub-contract machining into selling sub-contract capacity prior to moving into tooling sales five years ago.
He says: “75% of my machining experience has been in heavy general machining and engineering involving difficult materials and in particular in the energy and aerospace sectors.Here my specialist background, which has been largely application based, mainly involved milling and drilling.”
Adds general manager Trevor Tolley: “Andrew’s experience, based largely on being customer-driven for application involvement fits ideally into our established and proven product range.However, most important, the latest generation of tooling products coming from Japan are capable of significantly improving machine tool performance, utilisation, production reliability and consistency of operations and here his manufacturing track record is a bonus in applying tooling and improving methods.”
