PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER – Tom Fieldsend

On November 1st Tom Fieldsend took on the role of Product Development Engineer.

Just over three years ago Steve Harper stepped up to become the Head of Engineering and took along with him the role of Product Manager.

During this time Steve has done both roles tirelessly and to good effect but it has always been recognised that the company needed to develop a greater field test/product development presence.

Tom will increasingly spend more time on visits with Steve, reviewing and developing our own products in the work environment whilst continuing to help their development here in the factory.

In time it is hoped that Tom will then be able to undertake visits with the Sales people and on his own giving us greater coverage of our markets around the World.
