Bunting has promoted Alan Why to the position of UK Sales Manager overseeing all external sales activity. Alan has successfully developed magnet-related business for Bunting over a seven-year period. The responsibilities of his new role cover a wider product range including magnets, magnetic separators and metal detectors.
Since joining
Bunting in 2013, Alan has successfully grown business for magnet-related
products in the automotive, mechanical, and electrical industries. Alan achieved particular success in
introducing an expanded range of magnetic catches to manufacturers of kitchen
cabinets.
Alan’s
engineering career began as a radio-frequency (RF) electronics design engineer
and evolved into the role of Sales & Marketing Director of a small
electronics company serving the defence electronics market. Throughout, Alan has specialised in
engineered solutions. As a field-based
Sales Manager, he believes in developing close relationships with
customers. Only then does he believe
that it is possible to fully appreciate and understand a specific magnetic
application and, subsequently, recommend the optimum magnet solution in terms
of material, shape and size.
As the UK
Sales Manager, Alan’s responsibilities cover an expanded industrial and
geographical area. As well as continuing
to support customers with magnet-related requirements, Alan will also be
working on projects in the recycling, quarrying, and process industries.
“This is a
very exciting opportunity,” said Alan.
“The Bunting brand has never been stronger in the UK and I am looking
forward to co-ordinating the strategy and implementing the plans to further
expand our customer base.”
“Alan is a
well-respected and experienced member of our sales team and has the vision to
take us forward,” explained Simon Ayling, Bunting’s European Managing
Director. “We believe that having a
strong external sales team is important.
Alan has the necessary experience and skills to further develop that
sales team.”
Alan Why assumes his new position in January 2020.
