Global appointment for attachment specialist

Specialist attachment manufacturer Hill Engineering has appointed a new head of global business development.

The United Kingdom-based developer of the Tefra hydraulic quick coupler has recruited John Lines to head up a major drive to further develop its growing sales business.

John has extensive experience in the excavator attachment business including a previous role with Hill as sales and marketing director nine years ago.

In that time Hill has continued to develop attachments and the company said it now requires a dedicated focus to capitalise on to take it truly international, and to break into new, emerging markets through OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and end users.

John said: “I am delighted to be back working with the team at Hill. The company has developed hugely since I worked here last and has rightly won awards for both its products and its operations.

“Our portfolio is now in great demand in many key global markets and I will be working hard to support the efforts of the entire Hill team to satisfy the needs of our worldwide customers and partners.”
