After achieving a record 54% growth in export sales, the Halesowen-based EDM graphite and tooling specialist Erodex
(UK) Ltd (www.erodex.com) has appointed Laura Collins as its export manager.

Director Steve Rollinson said: “We have been providing more and more aerospace tooling to countries as far away as Israel; in doing so, we have gained a significant amount of experience exporting into these new markets.

“We feel the time is right to appoint a dedicated export manager to maintain and manage this growth.”

Laura Collins said: “I have always worked in an international trade environment, primarily in export and with a focus on implementing processes and procedures. Export sales at Erodex are growing quickly, accounting for an ever increasing amount of overall turnover, meaning that it makes sense to establish a dedicated export department to manage this work.

“Different countries come with their own complexities or requirements and as a team, we are now well placed to deal with these and play our part in facilitating the growth in overseas trade during what is an exciting time for the company. I am delighted to be on board and very much looking forward to the future”.
