Hoppecke strengthens New Year prospects with key appointment

January 16, 2012 - One of the UK’s leading industrial battery specialists is looking forward to a prosperous New Year after strengthening its management team.

Paul Rush joins Hoppecke Industrial Batteries as an Account Manager and brings a wealth of experience from his 14 years in sales and engineering.

Having started his career as an engineering apprentice at Rolatruc, Paul has worked his way up into sales and customer service where he spent his last seven years at Crown Equipment.

David Millett, UK Sales and Operations Director of Hoppecke, commented: “Paul will prove a real asset to Hoppecke thanks to his knowledge and expertise within the forklift industry. This will help us continue to develop our reputation as a leading supplier of power systems.”

Paul will be managing the process of its battery solutions from conception through to completion for some of the company’s major client accounts, primarily within the motive power sector.

Paul comments: “Hoppecke is renowned for its innovation and quality with huge prospects and potential.

"It's great to work for a company where there is a lot of opportunity. What you put in is recognised and rewarded and I'm looking forward to continuing the progress Hoppecke has made in building a strong customer base.”
