Whitehouse strengthens operations in the South East

At the start of 2022, James Fell was appointed by Whitehouse Machine Tools to the new position of Business Development Manager to strengthen the company’s back-up and sales operations in the south-east of England, including London and the whole of East Anglia. 

One of his remits is to support existing customers in the area, for example acting as point of contact for applications engineering and service requirements. He will also identify new business opportunities for the sale of leading machine tool brands for which Whitehouse is sole sales and service agent in the UK and Ireland. 

Based in Southampton, Mr Fell is a time served toolmaking apprentice who gained NVQ Level 3 and then a National Certificate in manufacturing at what is now Havant and South Downs College. He studied on day-release while working as a setter-operator on machining centres and CNC lathes at subcontracting firms in the area, experience which ideally equips him for his new role.
