Garry Wakeling

Industrial Sealing Manager

I have 24 years’ experience in the Sealing & Gasket Industry. Starting at Seals Packings & Gaskets Limited (SPG) in Barnsley in 1993 as a Production Operative growing through the business and promoted during the years with roles including Production Team Leader, Buyer, Purchasing Manager, Operations Manager and currently Industrial Sealing Manager

In 2008 SPG was acquired by the ERIKS Group and a name change to ERIKS Gasket Technology followed in 2012.

During 2015 the transition began to merge the two PBU’s ERIKS Gasket Technology and ERIKS Sealing Technology in to one all-encompassing entity renamed ERIKS Sealing & Polymer, expanding out the knowledge and experience from the four sites of Warrington, Dudley, Barnsley & Glasgow.

My role as Industrial Sealing Manager is to develop and grow the Intercompany Sales through all the ERIKS Channels, having the team to support our colleagues out in the Regions and internally.
