The two new recruits, Sam Ayres and Alasdair Fraser, combine youth and experience. Mr Ayres having completed an apprenticeship with XYZ, gaining a strong grounding in the company’s ProtoTRAK range of machines, including overseeing the assembly and pre-sale testing of the XYZ 2-OP and LPM machines; and Mr Fraser having a background is in the toolmaking sector, where he completed his apprenticeship and spent six years working across a number of disciplines including operating and programming CNC machines as well as gaining experience in 3D CAD/CAM.
Once they have completed their training at XYZ’s Burlescombe headquarters, Mr Ayres will work alongside existing area sales manager, Mark Mathews to develop untapped potential in the North of Bridgewater, Bristol, Gloucester, South Wales area, while Mr Fraser will have responsibility for sales across Scotland.
At 22 and 24 years of age respectively, Messrs Ayres and Fraser will bring a fresh outlook to generating business for XYZ as it develops its own product range, with several new machine launches in 2017.
“This coming year will see our range develop and it is perfect timing to be bringing two area sales engineers on board who, while being relatively young, are also highly experienced, with Sam knowing our products very well through his time on the shop floor here at Burlescombe and Alasdair bringing his wealth of knowledge in the toolmaking sector.
“They are both enthusiastic and eager to make their mark in machine tool sales and we will be giving them every opportunity to fulfil their potential,” says Martin Burton, XYZ’s UK sales manager.”
