Mills CNC appoints operations manager

Mr Woodbridge, who for the last 10 years was employed as both engineering services manager and service manager at DMG (UK), took up his new position in early January 2011, and is responsible for developing, driving forward and increasing customer take-up of Mills' range of high-quality, after-sales services. The position of operations manager at Mills is said to be critically important to the company's future growth and success, and is something that is readily acknowledged by Mr Woodbridge: "Mills CNC is one, if not the most, successful machine tool companies in the UK. Mills has an unrivalled reputation in the market for the quality, reliability, availability and excellent value of the Doosan machine tools it sells, and for the technical and engineering excellence of its people. "The company's range of after-sales services are held in similar high regard by customers and these services are often the key purchase differentiators that underpin Mills' sales and repeat business successes. The task of further improving and developing these services (i.e. machine tool repair, maintenance and servicing; replacement and spare parts provision; ancillary equipment/product supply and installation; and CNC Programmer Training, Operator Training and Maintenance Training) is both daunting and exciting. And I'm really looking forward to the challenge." As well as working in an operations capacity at DMG, Mr Woodbridge has also gained extensive experience in machine tool service provision and delivery from time at Charmilles Technologies and Adtek.
