A time-served engineer, Mr Biggs (36) takes on the role following the retirement of long-standing regional sales manager Jack Carter.

He said: “Jack was very well known in the South East manufacturing circles and I look forward to the challenge of building on his many years of good work.”

He was previously employed by the German CAD/CAM company Tebis, and most recently as area sales manager with DMG Mori Seiki.
