Changes to the team at Sertec


Automotive supplier Sertec has made two significant additions to its senior management team. Steve Dunn joins the Sertec


Group board as engineering production director and Carol Henderson takes up the role of senior commercial manager with immediate effect. Group managing director Dave


Steggles said: “Having recently spent £16m in our new heavy stampings facility, we are very fortunate to have enlisted Steve, who brings with him the calibre and skills set essential to capitalising on our investment. “His experience in assessing and implementing new strategies and processes will be of great benefit to the group as a whole, both within the UK and our European operations.” As senior commercial manager,


Carol will add further expertise to Sertec’s Body In White capability and will play an integral part in attracting new customers. Dave Steggles added: “Carol has


a wealth of engineering and commercial skills, and will add a new perspective to our commercial activities for a wider customer portfolio.”


Manufacturing


Portech ties up stock take for historic firm


Webster and Horsfall, a 297-year-old Birmingham company at the forefront of wire manufacturing, has transformed its stock taking with a new stock management system from mobile computer solutions provider Portech Systems. Responsible for the first-ever transatlantic cable, Webster and Horsfall


combines its wealth of experience with state-of-the-art modern technology to manufacture and supply the highest quality wire products. While manufacturing will remain at the core of its business model, the company has started a new venture into the distribution of steel wire and wire rope. With more than 5,000 items of stock and a new diversification


strategy underway, Webster and Horsfall recognised that accuracy of stock was of increasing importance, and needed to transform its stock take to improve visibility of products for sales teams. Portech’s dedicated mobile solutions team developed a


bespoke and flexible software for data collection that supported Webster and Horsfall’s custom business practices and used specific terms relevant to its industry. The software was loaded onto durable, ruggedised mobile


computers with handheld barcode scanners from Unitech. Portech specified and recommended the devices, which


allowed both touch screen and keypad operation. Portech also provided durable labels and tags attached to the wires. Robert Horsfall, director at Webster and Horsfall, said: “We


selected Portech as it is an agile family run business, just like ours. “The team is friendly and personable, and very knowledgeable.


With Portech’s specialist help we have transformed our stocking processes, which are now accurate, quick and smooth.”


Taking stock: Robert Horsfall and Shaz Naeem (Portech)
