Following continued annual sales growth, Coalville-based Tornos Technologies UK Ltd (www.tornos.com) has expanded its UK team with the addition of three engineers who will strengthen the service, customer support and technical engineering solutions available from the manufacturer of Swiss sliding-head turning technology and multi-spindle turning machines.

Each of the new starters brings extensive CNC experience.

Stephen Brett and Andy Patrick have both been heavily involved in the manufacturing sector since leaving school, serving technical manufacturing apprenticeships before careers in production-orientated roles.

Meanwhile, Chun Yuen previously worked for 10 years as a customer support engineer for Tornos in Asia; he will bring “a fresh outlook to customers on the application of their Tornos machine tools”.

John McBride, general manager of Tornos UK, said: “This is an exciting new chapter for Tornos UK.

“We have witnessed significant sales growth in recent years, and the three new engineers will underpin our commitment to customer service and support.

“They are multi-disciplined engineers and will work across the entire range of Tornos sliding-head turning centres and multi-spindle machines.”
