This is a new position has been created to cope with the increasing demand, from component manufacturers in the area, for high-performance Doosan machine tools supplied by Mills CNC, and to generate new sales leads and enquiries.

Mr Hone joins Mills’ already well-established sales infrastructure and proactive sales management team in the area – headed up by business manager Peter Smith.

“The West Midlands and surrounding area has a high concentration of component manufacturers, ranging from large OEMs and Tier One companies through to smaller precision subcontractors,” Mr Smith commented.

“Mills CNC already has a sizeable customer base in the area, but, judging by the high demand, it could be significantly larger. Mark’s appointment will help us grow sales organically and through acquiring new business.”

“When the opportunity arose to join Mills CNC, I jumped at it,” he enthused. “Mills CNC has a reputation in the industry for the technically-excellent (Doosan) machine tools it sells and supports, its first-class applications and logistics operations and its exemplary aftersales services.

“The whole ethos and business approach at Mills is geared around delivering ‘right-first-time’ manufacturing solutions and on creating mutually-beneficial relationships with customers. I’m looking forward to joining a successful team and contributing to what is undoubtedly the fastest-growing and one of the most successful machine tool companies in the UK.”
