Derek Reid, Managing Director of Electro Tech Machinery
As Managing Director of Electro Tech – what do you particularly appreciate about your tasks?
I have now been working in my position for over 23 years. What I love about it? Meeting different people and discussing machine specifications in detail to help arrive at the correct solution for the customer.
How was your path to this position shaped?
I started doing sales in Northern Ireland for the first few years with one service engineer coming onboard a short time thereafter. Over the years, we have developed and increased our team to 10 covering all Ireland for sales, service and spare parts. We have built a team with excellent skills to provide our customers with the aftersales they require to run their factories in an efficient way. One of our greatest challenges: Finding staff with the skills required for our industry. And I really think we've mastered the challenge.
How would you describe HOMAG to a good friend?
HOMAG has been an excellent company to be involved with over the past 20 years. As a market leader in the panel manufacturing industry, they have been loyal to us at Electro Tech Machinery and to our Irish customers.
What makes working with HOMAG special?
Working with HOMAG gives us the confidence to visit customers no matter how big or small knowing we can provide a solution with an extremely high level of technology provided by a well-recognised worldwide global company.
