Straightpoint adds to sales team

UK based load measurement and monitoring equipment manufacturer Straightpoint has appointed Kyle Milne as technical sales engineer.

Milne joins Straightpoint from Scotload, where he has held a similar position, since 2012. He began his career at Scotload in 2008 as a technician, and was promoted four years later to technical sales engineer. In his new job he will be based in Aberdeen, Scotland, and will be responsible for selling the company's range of equipment to the oil & gas, renewables, construction, break bulk, shipping, marine and other industries.

Director David Ayling said: “Upon hearing of Kyle’s availability, I was keen to explore the possibility of him leading our endeavours to raise our profile, and market share, in the important Aberdeen marketplace. I was already familiar with Kyle, having spent time with him at numerous business events over the years, and have been a long time admirer of his passion for his customers and this industry. He was receptive to my approach and we’re both equally excited about the mutual opportunity that’s presented itself.”

Milne added: “I have been well aware of the Straightpoint range for a long time and know the products to be well renowned in industry. However, what became further apparent only upon visiting the headquarters and meeting more representatives was the team spirit and passion behind the operation. It’s a people centric environment and everyone was happy to be in the workplace, which was refreshing.”

“It was also clearer how the ownership and management structure at the business allows SP to respond to trends and industry demand. Where product enhancement is concerned, it is advantageous to have a culture where game-changing innovations can be brought to market in a timely fashion.”
