Delcam announces new UK Management Team
Delcam is pleased to announce a new management team for its UK business. The new team will be lead by Steve Creron, who has been appointed General Manager. Mark Corrigan has been promoted to Sales Manager, Chris Shread to Tooling Services Production Manager and Glen Hodierne to Support and Training Manager. The team is completed by Robin Smith, who continues as Applications Manager. All of the new group are long-serving Delcam employees – between them, they have a total of over 75 years’ experience in the company. The changes follow the recent promotions of Clive Martell to Operations Director and Chris Edwards to European Divisional Director within the main Delcam company.
Coincident with appointment of the new management team, the Delcam UK operation is being relocated into a larger area within the company’s Birmingham headquarters. The expansion will affect all parts of the UK business. It will include further growth in the Tooling Services Division – the unique in-house production facility that makes Delcam the only CAM developer that uses its own software for real manufacturing projects. The number of training rooms will be increased to handle the larger demand for training from the growing number of UK customers. On completion of the relocation, Delcam will undertake a recruiting drive to expand the sales, support and training teams, and to add new apprentices into Tooling Services.
"These changes come at an exciting time for Delcam in the UK,” claimed Mr. Creron. "We have expanded the range of software that we offer following the acquisition of the FeatureCAM and PartMaker ranges. As a result, we can offer a CAM system for virtually any machine tool a company might have. At the same time, we have diversified outside our traditional toolmaking market and are now being successful in a much wider range of industries. The aerospace industry, in particular, has produced rapid growth. We are confident that this will continue as manufacturers in the sector face constant demands for greater productivity and higher quality.”
"The rapid expansion of our international business in recent years has overshadowed the steady growth of our UK operation,” admitted Mr. Creron. "However, the UK is still one of the most important markets for the company. The success of our stand at the recent MACH exhibition shows that there are still plenty of opportunities for further growth in our UK business.”18 June 2008
