Melton Constable, Norfolk: Kevin Bignell has recently taken up the post of Sales Manager in the Lifting Division of Structure-flex Limited, with responsibility for expanding the company’s UK distributor network for lifting equipment. At the same time, he will be instrumental in implementing the new supply chain agreement with Industrial Murtra and penetrating key national accounts for Structure-flex Lifting.

At 35, Kevin has invaluable experience as a sales trainer and brings with him a wealth of knowledge in the lifting equipment sector, albeit from a different perspective. Prior to his appointment, he spent four years as a Regional Manager in East Anglia in the construction equipment hire trade.

Matt Doughty, Head of Sales and Marketing at Structure-flex says: “Kevin’s primary role is to make the marketplace aware of our product range following the new agreement with Murtra, and he has already made a fantastic start. I know he will bring the sales expertise, drive and enthusiasm required to deliver our plan for the UK lifting industry.”

Kevin has lived in Norfolk for the past 9 years. His leisure interests include clay pigeon shooting and, although a knee injury means his football playing days are over, he is an avid Spurs fan, and watches them play as often as he can.
