Following the recent announcement that the business is undergoing a restructuring to better meet the needs of the industrial measurement market, Andrew Tagg has been appointed to take responsibility for business development and strategic growth of the company in the coming years. With over 10 years’ sales experience within the portable metrology and 3D scanning sectors, he will provide the company with an injection of business and sales experience.
Starting his career as a design engineer, Mr Tagg then moved to Faro Technologies and quickly developed through the ranks to regional sales manager, establishing the UK salesforce as a leading supplier of portable measuring arms. After 10 years of developing sales in the UK, he was also given responsibility for sales in several European territories, including Scandinavia, Benelux and the Spanish market.
In 2015, following a restructuring of the Faro business into vertical market sectors, Mr Tagg was promoted to sales director EMEA for 3D Documentation technologies, including scanning applications such as architecture, cultural heritage, mining and accident and crime scenes. At the end of 2016, his success was rewarded with promotion to global sales director for Faro’s product design sector, managing worldwide sales of scanning technologies for reverse engineering, product design and CAD/CAM modelling.
Iain Caville, managing director and founder of the company is excited by the new appointment: “Having Andy on board sends a strong message out to the market and also to our current and future technology partners such as Creaform and Metrologic Group, that Measurement Solutions means business.
“I have admired Andy’s work ethic and desire to succeed for many years, and I can’t describe how pleased and eager I am to have him as part of my team. I have been working on future growth plans for the company for several months – and Andy Tagg is a key strategic decision that will now enable this to happen.”
Mr Tagg will work alongside Jason Bridge and David Harper, who have been key members of the Measurement Solutions team for over 10 years.
