Multivac UK • The Right Package • Sales Management Team 11
Introducing the newest addition to the Multivac Product Sales Management team, Lewis Pascoe. Lewis joins us from the Multivac service team where he has occupied the role of slicing technical specialist and has been key to getting the product into new customers and markets Having previously served as an international slicing service technician with Marel and a multiskilled maintenance technician at one of our key customers Karro Haverhill Lewis was the perfect fit for the Product Management team where we continue to utilise superior technical knowledge and turn this into sales. He is also a huge Tottenham Hotspur supporter, but they do say nobody is perfect! Slicing technology At present it is an exciting and pivotal time for slicing as the MUWO development team continue to introduce new technology enabling us to leapfrog our competition to offer something truly unique into the market. The new RX4.0 Integrated slicer horizontal loader and the super soft blade launch are great examples of where we will look to innovate and grow in the coming months giving us USP’s to exploit.
First Order I would personally like to congratulate Lewis on already winning his first order that he has received from Quorn foods. This is interesting because he was able to support the trials as a technician and then convert the final order already in his new role. It definitely takes most of us much longer than a few weeks to get our first PO so well done!
Processing Team The processing team that Lewis will slot into also announced strategic changes recently within the structure which includes my appointment to ‘Business Unit Manager Processing’. This now means that the TVI and Multivac Slicing products will fall under one umbrella with processing from a sales and marketing perspective This strategic change is designed to give the business greater flexibility on ‘processing’ which will enable us to support better, quicker and stronger with the unprecedented demand for our machinery and knowledge As part of the new structure was a commitment towards having a dedicated Marketing manager on board to proactively push the rapidly evolving opportunities direct to our customers where we need them. Unfortunately, Alesha who would have done this role has moved on in her career, but we will look to replace this position with time to continue the great work previously done. Transition period This initial period taking us into Q4 2022 will be one of transition for all of our team as we look to accelerate our learnings on all processing products through cross product training and exposure where possible.
Once complete however, this should give us the strength and breadth to introduce the new look processing team in Q1 2023 where we can begin to flex this muscle and work smarter for our customers and the rest of the MUUK team. Please wish myself and the rest of the team the best of luck!
