Cables company grows network

A new network of advisers to serve the distribution and wholesale market has been put into place by Burnley-based cabling provider Concordia Technologies.

The six-strong team will play a key role on the ground across the UK and Ireland, providing wholesalers advice and support across its range of cables and accessories.

General manager Angela Holdsworth said: “This team of highly experienced advisers will complement Concordia’s existing team and further increase our levels of service to our customers across the UK and Ireland.”

The new-look team includes Dave Bennett covering Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland; Mark Wood covering the North West; Chris Wood the North East; Phil Simmonds covering Wales, Midlands and South West and Matt Smith who will have responsibility for the South East.

Consultant Tony Lambe has also joined Concordia, and will help to lead the new network.

This follows the acquisition of accessories business Appliversal, a UK market leader for all major wholesalers in the field of crimp terminals, tools, cable management and associated products.

The business will become part of Concordia Technologies and will operate and distribute from the Concordia headquarters at Burnley.
