With a background in electrical engineering and heavy industry, Nick moved into sales positions for both small family companies through to multi-national corporations. He has 28 years sales and business development experience, with more than 20 years in international markets. Nick joins Morris Site Machinery with a high level of expertise and experience, covering Oil & Gas, Utilities, Transport, Public Safety and Communications amongst others.

In his new role, Nick will be focusing initially on refining which market sectors and regions to target and channels to leverage for the most effective outcomes, identifying and selecting the best partners to deliver success. He will be based between the Wolverhampton HQ and Morris’s Lighting Tower manufacturing facility in Lincolnshire and predicts a large proportion of his time will be spent working overseas.

Nick commented: “This is an outstanding opportunity for me in a brand new role. I am confident that through my contacts and experience I will be able to deliver some exciting opportunities for Morris Site Machinery and achieve some impressive inroads into new markets for this renowned business and its world leading brands.”

“My approach to growing international territories is to focus strategically area by area, gaining momentum by working closely with specific regions rather than trying to scattergun resource and ambitions across the world. I will be building on the strong inroads already established by the business in Australasia and importantly opening up new territories.”

Outside work and back home in Lincolnshire, Nick is a keen golfer, enjoying spending time out on the course and taking part in the occasional local competition.

Chris Morris, Chief Executive at Morris Site Machinery said: “With an increased focus on international markets, we are delighted to welcome Nick on board.

Nick’s ability to demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of our industry sector together with his background in electrical engineering and understanding of the wide range of sectors we service, from utilities to transport, is impressive. His background of living and working overseas, coupled with his warm personality and partnership approach makes him ideal for the role and a great fit with our business. I would like to take this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to Nick as a key new member of our senior team.”

Operating from bases in the West Midlands, Lincolnshire and Scotland, Morris Site Machinery has been supplying site machinery since 1973 to a range of industries including rental, construction, petrochemical, rail, emergency response, events, quarrying and mining.
