XYZ strengthens sales team with three new recruits

The three new appointments are Chris Jones, Dave Rawson and Lloyd Pennington and collectively they bring a wide range of experience gained in manufacturing environments and capital equipment sales.

Dave Rawson brings his experience gained on the shopfloor as a machinist/programmer and, more latterly, that gained in capital equipment sales with a leading supplier of sliding head lathes. As area sales manager, he will be supporting customers across East Anglia, Essex, North and West London areas.

The second area sales manager is Lloyd Pennington who has been involved in the engineering manufacture and design sector for almost as long as he can remember. This early start led to a career that involved the design and build of machine tools, and working across industries such as nuclear, marine and automotive. Mr Pennington’s area covers the North Home Counties and part of the M40 corridor.

Chris Jones joins XYZ as a sales engineer from a background of machine tools sales in the laser profiling sector, having worked for the two leading manufacturers of this equipment. He will be responsible for sales within the West Midlands region, working alongside existing area sales manager Martin Leaper to assist with the growth seen in the area.

“Dave, Lloyd and Chris are joining the company at an exciting period in its development. We continue to expand our portfolio of machines, introduce new levels of technology, while remaining faithful to our core business and the success that this has brought us,” said Nigel Atherton, managing director, XYZ Machine Tools.
