New man at the helm for Walter GB

Mr Battison, formerly key account manager at Sandvik Coromant UK joined Walter GB in January to ensure a smooth handover at the company’s Bromsgrove headquarters.

With extensive experience in sales, business development and leadership, as well as qualifications to BEng and MSc, apprentice trained 41-year-old Mr Battison says one major ambition in his new role is to continue to build on the success of Walter GB.

“Gerry and the team here have established a UK market leading operation spearheaded by a comprehensive range of products and services,” he commented. “Combined with the Walter ‘Engineering Kompetenz’ expertise, they consistently help solve production problems in the most cost-effective manner.

“A major aim will be to reinforce that philosophy by growing our partnerships with existing customers while also continuing to extend into new business areas.”
