All change at Tomoe

A Tomoe Valve product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Feb 6, 2006

Willie Duncan replaces Martin Wells as Managing Director of the Tomoe Group in Europe and Ian Garnish retires as Chairman.

Butterfly valve and actuator company Tomoe Group has appointed Willie Duncan as Managing Director.

He will be based at the company's European headquarters in Newport, south Wales.

This follows the retirement of Ian Garnish as Group Chairman.

Garnish was instrumental in establishing the joint venture between Tomoe and Sanders Valve in 1986, and also founded Tomoe Tritec in 1997.

With over 20 years experience in the valve industry, Duncan joined Tomoe in 2004 as Sales and Marketing Director, responsible for business across Europe, USA, Middle East and Africa.

During the past two years he has built a stronger sales and marketing operation and positioned Tomoe as one of the major companies in the European valve industry.

Duncan replaces previous Managing Director Martin Wells, who has left the company to pursue other interests.

Allan Watkins, previously Quality Director at Tomoe Tritec, has been appointed to the new position of Director of Business Processes.

Duncan said: "In 2005, we achieved the best ever year in terms of sales growth, running at 30% up on the previous year".

"We start 2006 with a strong order book, one of the industry's most extensive valve product portfolios and a first class reputation in customer service and product delivery".

"With exciting new products in development due for release in the second half of the year, and increased manufacturing capacity, we are well positioned to penetrate new markets and realise the company's aggressive growth strategy".
