We have once again strengthened our team with the appointment of a new area sales manager. Renny Thomas has joined the company to target sales in the South East.

Renny Thomas Dugard South East Area Manager

Targeting growth in the South East and Anglia, Dugard welcomes Renny Thomas to the team. Renny has 26 years of machine shop experience before moving into CAD/CAM training and technical support. From there, Renny spent the last 12 years as an area sales manager with a manufacturer of CNC turning centres. Looking to move to a business with a more diverse and expansive portfolio and a larger sales area were two of the key reasons that Renny joined the growing Dugard family.

Commenting on the duo joining the Dugard team, sales director Colin Thomson says: “We are delighted to welcome Renny to the Dugard team. He has a proven track record in the industry with a technical understanding and ability to solve problems for customers that will be a genuine asset to Dugard. He’s spent several years working with manufacturers in the South East, so his local reputation and insight will be a huge benefit for Dugard and manufacturers in the areas. Dugard has everything from cost-competitive machine tools and high-end solution-driven machine tools through to sliding head turning centres – the opportunity to service a wide customer base with this exciting and diverse range of machines and the fact that we are a family business was a factor in this excellent engineers wanting to join Dugard.”

“We have six machine tool brands that are complemented by extensive automation solutions. With everything from the Dugard cost-competitive range through the robust SMEC series and the Kitamura high-end machining centres, and on to the heavy-duty Ibarmia multi-tasking machines, we have a machining centre to meet the needs of every business. Likewise, we have the most productive sliding head turning centres in the industry with the Hanwha line-up.”
