Vollmer UK Ltd has announced that Christopher Hellyer has been appointed as the new managing director of Vollmer UK Ltd (effective April) with Martyn Cross stepping down and retiring. Mr Cross has played a key role in shaping the development of the company and through his strong commitment, extensive expertise and close ties with the Vollmer Group, has significantly strengthened its market position in the UK.

After completing his apprenticeship, Mr Hellyer began his professional career as a service technician before moving into sales, where he gained more than 33 years’ experience in senior sales management positions. He will take on his new responsibilities gradually and will work closely with Martyn Cross over the coming months to ensure a smooth transition.

With his long-standing industry experience and in-depth market and sales knowledge, Mr Hellyer is perfectly qualified to continue the successful development of the company. The Vollmer Group considers itself well-positioned for the future with this management change and looks forward to continuing its successful collaboration with the team in Great Britain.

Mr Cross concluded: “The years at Vollmer UK have been a very special and enriching time for me. Together with a dedicated team and in close cooperation with the Vollmer Group, we were able to continuously develop and strengthen our market position in the UK. I am very grateful for the trust placed in me and the support I have received. I am confident that Vollmer UK will continue to be successfully positioned under Christopher's leadership.”
