Kelly Brown, Ellis Patents sales director, said: “Our sales operation covers fifty different export markets, with local distributors in each, as well as our domestic sales operation.

"Kirby’s job is to ensure all the different elements of the sales process run smoothly so that no opportunities are missed or customers left lacking in terms of service.”

“It’s certainly a big job, but working alongside fellow sales and customer service executive, Claire Dale, it’s one I’m confident she’ll excel in.”

Kirby said: “I’m very excited to be joining Ellis Patents.

“The company has a great reputation – both as a manufacturer of cable cleats and a local employer – and I’m looking forward to playing my part in its continued success.”
