And to aid this rapid progression and evolution of the company, additions to the workforce have become essential. In the accounts department we have welcomed Jan Edwards, a new addition to our credit control team. Jan has been working hard to grasp the ropes and has settled into to the Ellard culture extremely fast. Out on the road and making their way to see you are two new members to our external sales team. Adam Robinson, who has been a part of Ellard in the past, has made his way back to us and with him he has brought his in depth understanding of Ellard and the products we sell. We’re sure that some of you will recognise Adam as he reintroduces himself to our customers located in the south. Signifying the start of Ellard’s new blinds division, Lee Chapman will be taking the lead in the external sales of our blind automation products. Lee has a large amount of experience in the blinds market and we are sure that having him on the Ellard team will be a great way to kick off our focus in the blinds trade. www.ellard.co.uk Additions and Innovations to the Ellard Range Alongside growing the business, Ellard’s product range is constantly undergoing innovation, updates and modernisation. Firstly, a venture that is completely new to the Ellard portfolio... Gate Hardware: Ellard have been working closely with Comunello in Vicenza Italy and are now happy to announce the start of a new partnership. In the beginning, talks with Comunello revealed that gate hardware would be the only product line that Ellard would distribute. However, after many successful meetings and visits to Comunello’s modern and highly facilitated headquarters, Ellard have decided that having deeper connections with the brand would be a hugely beneficial business decision for both parties. Because of this Ellard will now also be a distributor of Comunello gate automation products due to experiencing first hand that these are some of the highest quality in the gate market. And to follow on… Digital limit option for industrial motors: Following the innovation of Ellard’s industrial motors, the company is moving forward by launching a Digital Limit option to bring the process of setting the limits on your door into the future. The official launch will be on the 16th of March with our open days where you can come and see working examples on the 17th to the 19th.
