Brian Robinson Machinery Ltd appoint General Manager

VALTRA dealer Brian Robinson Machinery Ltd of East Cowton, North Yorkshire has appointed Sandy Ellis to the position of General Manager responsible for the day to day running of this land-based machinery dealership.

Formed thirty years ago by Brian Robinson as a one man operation, this successful expanding company now directly employs 20 full time staff operating from modern facilities, extending to 1800 sq meters including workshops and a brand new, extensive parts department.

Commenting on Sandy Ellis appointment, Company Director Christine Robinson explained; Our Company has grown to a size where we need another member on the management team. Brian and I know our abilities and what our strengths are but more importantly we know our limits. Understanding these allowed us to define the position of General Manager and the type of person required.

Sandy Ellis brings to Brian Robinson Machinery Ltd a range of management skills gained over the past 25 years in both practical machinery management and latterly in education; five years at Harper Adams University College and most recently during ten years at Askham Bryan College as the head of the Engineering Section.

Talking of his appointment Sandy Ellis said, My position here includes keeping on top of the demands of bureaucracy, staff training, and other day to day items as well as long term business planning. There are not as many changes from my previous position at the college as you may think.

Sandy is married with two teenaged children and when not working enjoys country sports, motor sport, and good food and wine.
