Untha UK forms new management team

Untha U.K. has announce its new board of directors at the half-way point of the company’s financial year.

Managing Director Marcus Brew, who has been at the helm of Untha U.K. since 2016, is joined by Peter Streinik, who serves as director of global strategy.

Working with the team in the U.K., Austria-headquartered Streinik combines knowledge and insight from almost every continent of the globe, the company says.

Andrea Gratzer, based in Austria, also has joined the U.K. board as finance director. Gratzer has been with Untha for 16 years, and the company says she will be a key decision-maker as the U.K. operation strives to achieve 20 percent year-on-year expansion between now and 2022.

Gary Moore, promoted to sales director in September 2018, will blend his U.K. responsibilities with those of director for global business development. Untha says this dual company involvement represents the U.K.’s mounting presence on the international map.

“We’ve worked hard to secure the best possible people for these roles at a crucial time in our organization’s journey,” Brew says.

“Inviting Peter and Andrea to join our board from our Austrian HQ reflects our closer integration into this global business and the voice we now have within central operations,” he continues. “The U.K. market is very different than many others worldwide. Customer relationships matter a lot and the growth potential here – for both machines and service products – is vast.”

Julian Lamb has recently been appointed as Untha U.K.’s sales manager, Julie Cassidy serves as service coordinator and ex-Chairman Chris Oldfield also has recently re-joined the team as commercial director.
