Appointements at Vero Software and Roemheld UK

Walter Wade joins the team as part of the brand's continued focus on growth. He will be working with the business development team to establish new channels for Edgecam in emerging economies. He joins the Edgecam team from another role within the Vero Group, bringing 20 years' experience in both technical and commercial aspects of CADCAM solutions: for nearly 10 years, he managed UK sales operations, before moving into international product distribution. "The increased focus on brand, and the substantial opportunities for growth, are the main reasons for joining the Edgecam team," he says. "The passion for the benefits the software delivers to manufacturers is evident from everyone in the team." He will also be developing the existing reseller network, working closely with Edgecam general manager Raf Lobato, who says: "This appointment demonstrates Edgecam's clear objective of sector dominance, and commitment to our international business." Roemheld (UK) has expanded its technical support by appointing a new area manager for the South and West. Ian Shelley joins Roemheld, having previously spent 22 years as a fixture designer at Bartling Designs Ltd, Sittingbourne. Ian said: "I was keen to take on a new challenge and this role offers an ideal opportunity to become more involved in liaising with customers and helping them solve their workholding problems. "Having used many Roemheld products in my fixture designs over the years, I had first-hand experience of the company's high standards of quality and service, so was delighted to join the team."
