Neil Bradbury, Managing Director Schweizer Electronic

摘要

You joined Schweizer Electronic as Managing Director just over a year ago, how have you found the experience so far?I have to say that the Schweizer Electronic Group have made the transition into senior management a great experience. The group structure has allowed me the autonomy to bring together the experience gained from several senior sales roles across many years. This, along with a very clear remit for growing the business and improving relations mean that I can honestly say that the first twelve months have flown by. On reflection, the freedom given to me by the CEO and board, has allowed me to improve my leadership and management as well as handing me decision making that I craved in previous roles. Schweizer Electronic is a business that is a real joy to work for. A family owned and run business that has unique products that are developed with end user feedback built into the design and build processes. Uptake of the Schweizer Electronic products has grown and as such the profile is growing. What does your role entail? When I first took on the leadership of the UK business, it was clear that having only two employees (including myself) didn't allow for rapid growth and expansion. Working in sales and development roles in different rail segments has given me a good understanding of where we can grow as a business. To that end, at the tail end of what was a difficult 2020,I took the decision to build my 2021 budget presentation to the board with a clear indication of my intent to grow the business and I embarked on a recruitment drive to bring in the right people to not only consolidate and maintain the Schweizer Electronic business in the UK but to allow us to grow and develop our customer offering.
