Lubrication Product Manager, ERIKS UK & Ireland

I came to ERIKS UK towards the end of 2014 following a few years working in the business media and advertising industry. I started in the branch support team, learning as much as possible whilst accumulating an interest in both the commercial and technical areas within the Bearings and Lubrication product business unit. I progressed to the role of team leader after 2 years. With the help of a great team I continued my development and delivered some excellent personal and team results.

After naturally gravitating to the pro-active, analytical and project orientated side of the product business unit for some time, I took the role of Lubrication Product Manager in the summer of 2019.
