Bridon, a global technology leader in the manufacture of wire and fibre rope, has appointed a new Sector Marketing Manager.

Gavin Turner has taken on the new post to work for the Bridon Group, based in Doncaster.

Andy Dodwell, Group Commercial Director for Bridon said: “We welcome Gavin to the group and look forward to working with him to strengthen our marketing.

“We recognize that we have a fantastic opportunity to communicate with how our world class ropes can help our customers and potential customers save money on their operating costs.

“Gavin’s first project will be to work with businesses across the globe to showcase how our products can save them operational costs due to their quality and longevity.

“Our £30 million factory in the UK manufactures the largest and most complex ropes ever made, in package weights of up to 650 tonnes, boasting enhanced breaking loads, optimized bend fatigue performance, effective lubrication, and minimal rotation under load.

“As a global technology leader we have one of the world’s most advanced facilities for the development and testing of offshore ropes, the Bridon Technology Center, where we are constantly pushing the boundaries of current rope capabilities and finding new solutions to the problems posed by deeper waters.”

Gavin joins Bridon after working in a global marketing role for a FTSE 100 manufacturing company for seven years. 

Gavin said: “I am delighted to be able to take up this role at Bridon. The company clearly prides itself on product innovation and customer service and I am really excited about becoming a part of this team.”
