Having worked in distribution for a large European distributor as both a Sales Director and Group Marketing Director, and being part of company growth from £2m to £250m, much was learned about business growth, and how to manage it.

Since 1976, I have worked in bearings and power transmission products. With both manufacturing and distribution clients in countries including Canada, USA, UAE, India, Pakistan, Netherlands, Ireland, South Africa, Spain and the UK, I have good global knowledge of the bearing and transmission industry. I know what works, what doesn’t often work, and understand the changes that affect all the companies in this sector, including localization, energy saving, acquisitions, data management and change management.

As a former member of the EPTDA since forming my company in 2004, I have good knowledge of the executives of the leading manufacturers and distributors in our industry. I have also been a member of the PTDA in the USA and have good contacts with the owners and executives of North American bearing and power transmission companies.
