Metallisation appoints new Finance Director
Article Type: Industrial news From: Anti-Corrosion Methods and Materials, Volume 60, Issue 4
Metallisation Ltd, a global leader in the supply of thermal spray equipment, has appointed Pete Silcox as its new Finance Director.
Pete is the latest member to join the team of Directors at Metallisation’s UK manufacturing site and follows the appointments last October of Stuart Milton to Sales Director and Jon Erskine as Operations Director. The team of Directors also includes Managing Director, Terry Lester, and Deputy Managing Directors, Rob Hill and Steve Barker, who all continue to be involved in the strategic development of the business.
Before joining Metallisation Pete was Finance Director at Craven Dunnill, a ceramic tile manufacturer and distributor in Bridgnorth.
In his new role, Pete will head up the Finance Team and be responsible for the financial management of the company, as well as liaison with Metallisation’s auditors, banks and insurance companies. Pete is also planning to represent the company at various events organised by The Black Country Chamber of Commerce.
Metallisation continues to buck the economic trend by employing a growing workforce, with around 45 people currently working at its Dudley factory. It is represented around the world by a network of agents and distributors, who assist clients with their equipment, material and technical requirements. Metallisation is an owner managed company and has grown its turnover by 75 per cent since 2009, both domestically and through exporting to over 72 countries.
Commenting on his appointment, Pete says: “The role of Finance Director at Metallisation really appealed to me. The forward thinking of the Directors and the growth strategy for the next five years is very exciting. It’s great to be a part of a business that wants to grow and continually develop its relationships with its customers. I’m looking forward to helping Metallisation achieves its global growth targets.”
