Product Manager, Pumps

I began working at ERIKS 24 years ago in 1996, starting in the Transline stores, which is now known as the Drives Product Business Unit.

I then moved into the Technical Office in 1997, before spending two years in the Fluid Power division of the business, finally making my way into the Pumps team in 2006, where I have been ever since.

Over the years, I have built up a strong knowledge of the industry, market and product ranges, while building an excellent rapport with ERIKS colleagues and customers alike. This has led to my current position as Product Manager for Pumps.

Outside of ERIKS, I am an avid gamer, musician, previously playing guitar in a band in my younger days, sixties American muscle car enthusiast, and I'm known to enjoy the occasional pint of real ale.
