Hove-based CGTech Ltd (www.cgtech.co.uk) has appointed Mark Watson to extend the support available for Vericut — its CNC verification, simulation and optimisation software.

Having already completed an intensive initial training programme to get up to speed with the software, he is continuing to learn and gain experience and has already visited several CGTech customers, along with more-experienced CGTech staff.

One of these visits was to Babcock Rosyth, home to one of the largest waterside manufacturing and repair facilities in the UK; another was to two of the UK’s Formula One teams — Mercedes-AMG and Williams Grand Prix Engineering.

Based in Brechin, Scotland, Mr Watson will provide day-to-day technical support for Vericut users operating in a diverse range of manufacturing-industry sectors.

He is a time-served apprentice qualified to SVQ Level III in CNC machining.
