Leading cable cleat manufacturer, Ellis Patents has appointed Paul Nolan as its new UK sales manager.
Nolan, who will be working alongside current UK sales manager, Stephen Crawley until his retirement in 2012, has worked in the electrical sector since joining Vantrunk Engineering as a sales co-ordinator back in 1983. Since then he has held sales positions with several industry renowned names, including Cablofil, Mita and Thorn Lighting.
Ellis Patents managing director, Richard Shaw said: “Paul has worked in cable management for the vast majority of his career and as such has a vast knowledge of our market and the people in it. Add to that the time he’ll be spend working alongside Stephen Crawley before he retires and I’m confident we’ve appointed someone who will quickly establish themselves as an extremely valuable member of the team.”
Ellis Patents UK sales account for 50 per cent of its annual turnover. Recent successes for the North Yorkshire company include significant orders for the new Pembroke power station in South Wales and a major National Grid project that will deliver electricity to the Greater Manchester area.
Commenting on his appointment, Paul Nolan said: “I’d worked closely with Ellis Patents on a number of projects during my last job and couldn’t help but be impressed by its products and the way it went about selling them. Therefore, when this position came up I jumped at the opportunity to join a company that I truly believe can go a very long way.”
