From its UK facility in Runcorn, Cheshire, Cook will add to Exel Composites’ regional sales team, handling new business leads and advising customers on the benefits and solutions of composites materials.
“My experience goes beyond engineering and sales, with product management, manufacturing and material knowledge all forming part of my skillset,” said Cook (pictured). “Composites are gaining traction across industry, but what they can be used to manufacture is little understood. I have a proven track record of success in new business development and these skills will allow me to inform and support composites customers in the UK.
“Although I have experience in the composites industry, I’m still astounded by the range of novel applications that the team is developing at Exel. Each day I cannot wait to see what new project the team is working on.”
Exel Composites’ head of sales South and West Europe & IMEA, Francesco Ierullo added: “Appointing Stephen is crucial for the continued growth of the business,” “With a strong sales background in the engineering sector, robust technical knowledge and beneficial familiarity with the composites industry, I’m certain that he can support the UK and Ireland with continued growth and development.”
