Post-Brexit confidence in plastics industry marked by new appointment

Ancillary equipment provider, Summit Systems, says the appointment of its new Technical Sales Engineer demonstrates its confidence in the UK plastics industry as it looks to capitalise on post-Brexit opportunities.

The Tamworth-based company recently welcomed Matthew Ross to its team, who will work with Summit’s customers to help enhance factory automation, improve efficiency and cut out waste.

“It is fantastic to welcome Matthew to the Summit Systems team,” commented Mike Jordan, Managing Director of Summit Systems.

“We feel that the prospects for our sector are extremely positive as a fall in the pound could really kick start UK manufacturing, which is why we are taking steps to strengthen our business now. Adding high calibre staff like Matthew to our seasoned team, will position us extremely positively when the market needs us.” 

Ross has 16 years engineering experience across plastics manufacturing, with his career incorporating roles at Siemens VDO Automotive, Mahle Filter Systems and most recently, ICS Cool Energy.
