UKMHA Appoints Rob Fisher as New CEO
The UK Material Handling Association (UKMHA) announces Rob Fisher as its Chief Executive Officer, effective July 1, 2024. Rob Fisher will succeed Tim Waples, Chief Executive UKMHA, whose retirement was announced earlier in the year, and
Cameron Burnett, CEO Designate.
Keith Villiers has retired as Applications Engineer at Walter Ewag UK, manufacturer of CNC grinding, erosion and measuring machines, after 27 years’ of service. James Hanmer has succeeded him as Applications Engineer. Keith joined Walter GB (as it was then) in 1997 as a machine salesman, moving into applications two years later. He has been involved with customers the length and breadth of the country, applying his vast applications knowledge to help with programming, process and productivity improvement in the production and regrinding of cylindrical cutting tools. James joined Walter Ewag UK’s customer care department in 2017 after a career in production engineering that began with an apprenticeship in the early ‘90s. He now succeeds Keith at the Warwick-based company and will continue to offer similar outstanding levels of support. www.walter-machines.com ‘All change’ at Walter Ewag UK
