Experienced engineer joins UNTHA UK’s after sales team

UNTHA UK’s busy after sales department has welcomed another new face to the team.

Experienced mechanical and electrical engineer James Smith is the company’s latest recruit. Having supported clients throughout the UK and overseas, he has worked on the servicing and refurbishment of varied machinery, hydraulics, gears and pumps. His multifaceted industrial background means he is therefore well placed to add value to the diverse shredding projects that UNTHA is involved in throughout the country.

Commenting on James’ appointment, Project and Services Manager Paul Collins said: “With more UNTHA shredders in operation in the UK than ever before, it is important that our after sales team grows accordingly. From the installation expertise we deliver, through to the machine maintenance and servicing we provide, we need to have enough talented engineers on hand to support clients with their evolving shredding requirements. This is crucial if we are to uphold the standards for which we’re renowned.

“Not only does James have the practical skill-set we require, he is personable and passionate about engineering too. This means he turns up to jobs with the right ‘can do’ attitude and a desire to go the extra mile however complex the shredding scenario.”

Explaining why he was attracted to the role, James adds: “I knew that my expertise would transfer perfectly to waste and recycling projects, and I was excited by the prospect of learning more about this growing sector. The fact that UNTHA UK is a well-known brand within the industry also means I have the opportunity to work on some of the highest profile shredding contracts in the country.

“As much as I enjoy putting my engineering know how to good use, it is the customer-facing element of a role like this that really motivates me. Members of our team are able to support clients from the very earliest stages of their projects, and then through the ongoing usage of their machine, which is a fantastic position to be in.”
