Paul Skade

Category Manager, Industrial MRO and Safety

I’ve been in the Tools and MRO industry since leaving school 50 years ago. I’ve enjoyed a wide and varied career in a variety of Sales and Procurement roles in the ensuing years.

My main focus for the past decade, has been helping to shape and deliver the ERIKS strategy for PPE to our target customers across Europe. My role includes supporting the ERIKS network, advising and helping them to keep up with legislation, best practice, and the promotion of quality PPE from leading brands and trusted suppliers. I am very pleased to say that the PPE & Safety product category within ERIKS shows continued growth annually.
