The new appointment is due to the success of longstanding technical sales engineer Dave Cleeve with the expanded ITC tool offer. He has become a ‘victim of his own success’, the company says.
The combination of a growing ITC product portfolio, plus the addition of Widia and BIG Kaiser product lines being incorporated into the brand, as well as the investment in new machine tool technology at the company now sees Cleeve spending more time with key account clients. So, to support him in his efforts to further expand the ITC brand, Graham Fuller has joined the team.
Fuller started his engineering career in 1984 as a toolmaking apprentice and, following 10 years as a machinist, he entered the world of technical sales. Since 2000, he has enjoyed a successful career with a number of cutting tool manufacturers, building a rapport with manufacturing companies from Dorset and Hampshire, through to Sussex and Kent. It is this South/South East corner of the UK that Fuller will be focused on.
Commenting upon joining ITC, he says: “I have worked in technical cutting tool sales for almost 20 years and the quality and reputation of ITC has always been very highly regarded in the marketplace. When the window of opportunity came along to join ITC, I leapt at it. The ITC brand is very well respected and I am relishing the challenge of introducing this expansive portfolio to the engineers I have worked with over the last two decades and delivering productivity and cost benefits through cutting-edge tooling solutions.”
ITC’s managing director, Peter Graves, adds: “The increasing integration of both the BIG Kaiser and Widia product lines, plus our on-going investment in new technology for manufacturing micro-tools and HSM solutions has strengthened the ITC brand considerably. To support the growth of the brand, we are actively employing more technical sales engineers to service the expanding client base. In addition, we are adding more internal staff to strengthen our infrastructure. Employing an engineer of Graham’s stature is certainly a coup for ITC and we are confident that he will help build upon the reputation that we have worked hard to establish in the South East.”
