After a year of exceptional business growth in 2019, Sheffield-based TW Ward CNC Machinery Ltd has made several key additions to its team (www.wardcnc.com).

Richard Hunter Rowe (pictured) is the new head of sales operations and a member of the senior management team.

His role will be to devise national sales strategies, while supporting the sales operation.

He has extensive experience in the manufacturing, logistics, wholesale and retail sectors; his most recent appointment was with the electrical wholesaler Rexel UK, where he was head of sales support.

David Rawson is the new area business manager for the ‘Yorkshire, East and Humber and Nottingham’ region, while Andrew Dolan is the new area business manager for ‘Midlands and the East’.

After an apprenticeship in the 1980s, Mr Dolan spent 14 years as an applications engineer with a world-leading machine tool builder, followed by more than 15 years as a sales manager with various machine tool companies.

Ward CNC has also appointed Steve Iles as a technical support engineer (electrical).

He will report to Mario DeVito (head of technical engineering) and will work alongside Jason Kahler, technical support engineer (mechanical).

He has more than 20 years’ experience as an electrical service engineer.
