HepcoMotion appoints new U.K. Sales Manager

Graham Smith moves up from Regional Manager to cover all of the United Kingdom.

HepcoMotion, world leaders in linear motion, have this week announced the appointment of a new U.K. Sales Manager, Graham Smith. Smith is justifiably proud of the technical caliber of the mature, established, and highly experienced sales team for which he is now responsible at HepcoMotion. Indeed, he has been part of this team himself for 14 years before becoming Sales Manager for Hepco.

Appointed to the post in January 2015, Smith steps up from Regional Manager to fulfill the U.K. wide post, managing the U.K. sales team. “We are pleased to welcome Graham as the U.K. Sales Manager,” says Christopher Rees, Sales Director at HepcoMotion. “By having someone so experienced and able to offer both technical and informative product information to support our sales engineers, we are able to ensure that our customers needing different capacities can all be catered for.”

Graham is understandably excited at this new challenge, saying: “Hepco have some great products and the ability to build systems with innovative features that are unique to the application. We have both the product and manufacturing knowledge to provide exactly what today’s manufacturers need.”

HepcoMotion has certainly seen great performance figures recently with a growth of 4% in 2014. Graham continues: “Our traditional markets are growing but so too are the newer sectors such as oil and gas, electronics, architecture and of course renewable energy. Our best-selling products continue to be our core products based on the V guide principle.”
