Chris Dixon

Head of Sales, Flow Control

I joined ERIKS in 1986 as a Sales trainee at our Grimsby Service Centre and have over 32 years of Distribution and Engineering experience.

Having worked in various management positions in Distribution and Engineering, Integrated Solutions and more recently in our Sealing & Polymer Technology Centre and now Head of Sales for our ERIKS Flow Control UK Technology Centre I bring a wealth of sales and operational experience to the ERIKS UK business.

I pride myself on teamwork and supporting my colleagues, so we achieve the best results for ourselves and our customer base and firmly believe in the phrase “Work Hard, Play Hard”

Outside of work my hobbies include playing football, walking our family Sprocker Spaniel “Coco” and Skiing. I am a level 2 FA qualified football coach and manage the U18 development squad for a local tier 7 Football Club Holbrook St Michaels.
