A locally-based used plant and machinery auction website is
going from strength-to-strength following the appointment of two
new members of staff.
www.mrmachinery.com, which is headquartered in Shrewsbury and
operates via a network of offices across Europe, has brought on
board Keith Richards as UK Sales Manager and Karen Weaver as
Auction Coordinator.
Keith joins following a spell as a Construction Spares Sales
Advisor in the defence sector, before which he held a senior
management role at a plant hire company and was General Manager for
Barrs Electrical. He brings to his role over 35 years experience in
dealing with customers, managing teams and negotiating contracts
across the construction and plant hire industries.
Karen Weaver brings a wealth of sales and administrative
experience to her new role as Auction Coordinator, where she is
responsible for uploading all machinery information and images to
the company website, as well as liaising with customers and
ensuring all contracts and inspection reports are finalised prior
to auction. After undertaking various administrative roles in
industries as diverse as IT, aviation, banking and education, Karen
progressed to become an Account Manager in the refrigeration sector
for 10 years before moving on to her current position.
Mark Bacon, Managing Director of Mr Machinery, commented:
"We are delighted to welcome aboard Keith and Karen. They
join us at a very exciting time for the business, and I'm sure the
knowledge and wealth of experience they bring will help us build on
a successful 2010 and continue to grow in the years to come."
"The company is looking to really push on in the next 12 months
with plans to open further offices in Germany, France and
Scandinavia, so it's fair to say Keith and Karen won't be the
newest members of the Mr Machinery team for too long," Mark
revealed.
Mr Machinery is a dedicated online auction portal offering a
unique platform for the sale and purchase of used plant machinery.
With extensive experience within the heavy equipment and logistics
industries, the team provides both buyers and sellers a
professional, personal and reliable service, ensuring every
customer's machinery and logistics needs are more than met.
