17 1 Kirby gets to grips with new role at Ellis PatentsRillington-based Ellis Patents has further strengthened its sales team by appointing Kirby Gregory as a sales and customer service executive.

Kirby, who comes from Scarborough, joins an eight-strong sales team that is responsible for securing specifications for, and sales of, the companyโ€™s cable cleats around the world.

Kelly Brown, Ellis Patents sales director, said: โ€œOur sales operation covers fifty different export markets, with local distributors in each, as well as our domestic sales operation. Kirbyโ€™s job is to ensure all the different elements of the sales process run smoothly so that no opportunities are missed or customers left lacking in terms of service.โ€ โ€œwItโ€™s certainly a big job, but working alongside fellow sales and customer service executive, Claire Dale, itโ€™s one Iโ€™m confident sheโ€™ll excel in.โ€

Ellis Patents sales are currently split evenly between domestic and export markets, with the latter having grown significantly in the last decade. As a result, its name and products will almost certainly be in the specification frame at the beginning of any new major construction project, whether onshore or offshore, and no matter where in the world it is.

โ€œIโ€™m very excited to be joining Ellis Patents,โ€ said Kirby. โ€œThe company has a great reputation โ€“ both as a manufacturer of cable cleats and a local employer โ€“ and Iโ€™m looking forward to playing my part in its continued success.โ€
