Chapman Machinery Ltd have appointed a new business development manager to help continue the growth and success of their UK business.

John Starkey, the new appointee, has many years experience as a business development manager and will be bringing it to what will be an exciting challenge.

He says: “The biggest selling point when I accepted the role was the ingenuity and expertise that happens at Chapman Machinery.

"Everything is made and designed on site which is fantastic to see for a British business. To see the machines start off from sheet metal to being fired up for the first time is an amazing sight, and something we should be really proud of within British manufacturing.”

Managing director, James Chapman said: “We are always striving to innovate and be ahead of the market at Chapman Machinery.

"With the increased popularity of our current range and a large network of distributors, we have developed the business development manager role to make sure all our distributors continue to receive the customer service and technical help they expect as we grow as a business.

"This will help us focus on new, exciting products that we can bring to the market.”

Based near Holsworthy, Devon, Chapman Machinery Ltd specialise in the manufacture of attachments for ATVs and UTVs to agricultural, equestrian and smallholding backgrounds.
