Technotrans has strengthened its management and service team with the appointment of Phil Eates. Phil is appointed service manager reporting directly to managing director Peter Benton and he will work out of the Colchester office.

He joins the company as it extends its cooling services across a range of sectors including printing, plastic injection moulding, medical, measurement devices, security systems and transport.

technotrans works with design engineers from concept to finished product, helping to find bespoke cooling solutions that enable products to operate safely and to maximum efficiency.

“We have enjoyed a growth in service and maintenance agreements and so it is right that we invest and create this role to further improve our overall performance,” says Peter Benton. “Phil is experienced in service and especially maintenance and he will develop our processes and performance and be a real asset on the management team.”

Phil joins from Johnstons Sweepers in Dorking which supplied road sweepers to both businesses and public bodies. There he was part of a customer service team as contracts manager.

“I was looking for a new challenge and I like the fact this is a business to business role serving both groups and independent companies,” says Mr Eates. “Service management skills are the same irrespective of the industry. I believe we can further develop our maintenance contracts business and there are processes we can implement and training we can introduce that will enable us to do things even better than before.”

Phil is married with two girls, aged 12 and nine, and a boy aged six. Much of his spare time is spent ferrying his children to various clubs and activities but his own hobbies including viewing motor sport and riding motor cycles.
