Leading machinery supplier Haffner Murat Ltd has
further strengthened its sales management team
with the appointment of Paul Yeo in the position of
Technical Sales Manager from 1st June, 2020.
» PAUL JOINS AN EIGHT-STRONG
technical sales team as demand for Haffner
Murat’s cutting-edge fabrication machinery
continues to gather pace.
Speaking on Paul’s appointment, Dave
Thomas, Managing Director of Haffner
Murat, said: “Paul has extensive knowledge
of PVC-U and aluminium profiles along
with fabrication machinery from his many
years working in the window industry. His
knowledge, focus and enthusiasm will be
a great asset to our growing team and will
further support the needs of our customers.”
Commenting on his appointment, Paul
said: “This is a great opportunity to work with
a company whose product range is superb and
their ambition and plans for future market
growth is exciting. I am looking forward to
working with Haffner Murat’s customers and
demonstrating the benefits that the Haffner,
Italmac and FOM machinery ranges can add
to their businesses.”
Haffner Murat began the phased reopening
of their business on 18th May, 2020, with
the full technical sales team in place to start
supporting their customers once more.
The company has recently expanded its
headquarters and has doubled the footprint
of its Staffordshire premises. It has also
commissioned a new 37,000 sqm purposebuilt
factory in Istanbul, Turkey, to support
the company’s continued growth.
Expansion on this scale in this economic
climate is noteworthy, but Haffner Murat’s
continued success in offering a range of
machines that make a tangible difference to
fabricators and supported by an exceptional
technical sales team is something that is
reflected in their growing business.
