I started with Ellard as Business Development Manager for Ireland & Scotland at the beginning of March 2023.
I am new to the automation industry in this sector but previously worked for a global market-leading roof window manufacturer, that pioneered automation with both its core products and blind accessories. I also spent a number of years in the motorsport industry with two global brands, looking after commercial business development and sponsorship procurement, so essentially I’ve gone from marketing and selling one type of motor to another.
Having now spent two months in the role, covering a wide and diverse range of trade customers from industrial and commercial to domestic products like blind motors, one thing that is immediately apparent is the strength of the Ellard brand name – even with those using competitor products.
There is plenty of scope and work to be done for sure, but the support that is in place at Ellard HQ in Manchester is key to the success of the BDM in the customer-facing role. I’ve experienced tremendous support from the sales and marketing team and we have a technical support team that is second to none and widely acknowledged out in the field.
I’m now looking forward to the challenge ahead with Ellard and to assisting our customers in Ireland and Scotland with all their needs.
