New Tomcat UK Team
The impact of this new highly motivated team will be that Tomcat UK will be able to offer a much wider range of services to customers including technical appraisal, site surveys, theatrical installations and also the supply of industrial lifting and mechanical handling equipment and structures, which will be dealt with through the Lifting and Handling Solutions Division based at Bromborough.
Patrick Lockwood, who joins Tomcat UK as a sales engineer, first started in the industry as a welder for James Thomas Engineering in 1990. Working his way through the company, Lockwood ran the welding shop for approximately two years. With his vast knowledge and experience of truss and the fact that he was adept at CAD he was soon moved to the design department. Meeting with clients and educating them on how to use the product eventually lead him into sales. Drawing on his fabrication, technical and design background, Lockwood then moved into project management where he took on managing various projects from start to finish.
Paul Jordan joins Tomcat from the industrial lifting equipment industry. With an extensive background in the industrial and entertainment lifting industry, with companies such as Chadburns, The Rossendale Group, and Bridgehouse. Jordan also worked on secondment to Airbus UK as the material handling specialist, in the east side project team on the A380 long range passenger aircraft project at their Chester site.
During his time at Bridgehouse as technical director, Jordan oversaw the sales department as well as heading the technical department, working in both the industrial and entertainment business sectors of the lifting trade simultaneously. He brings with him engineering design and management skills that will enable Tomcat UK to offer their clients the very best service across a range of products that have previously been unavailable.
As technical manager for Tomcat UK, Jordan will be providing the UK with the technical services normally provided by Tomcat USA, whilst also assisting sales manager Tony Dickson and Patrick Lockwood with the development of both the entertainment and industrial marketplace, introducing new ranges of industrial lifting fabrications in the coming months to complement the existing range of equipment.
“With the existing excellent crew and these new additions to Tomcat UK we now have the strongest team that we have ever had. The coming year will see Tomcat UK reaching its true potential,” Dickson stated.
