Changes at the top for Steve Vick International
Steve Vick International are pleased to announce the promotion of Caspar Vick to Director of Contract Services.
Caspar, one of Steve Vick’s sons, brings with him a wealth of experience through his many years working in the business. Officially, Caspar started working for Steve Vick International in 2009 although he always showed a keen interest from a young age and was often seen onsite with his father as a child.
During the early days, Caspar worked on the assembly line, in the Production Department, where he helped to pack foam kits and assemble Lyontec gland boxes for the increasingly popular Live Mains Insertion (LMI) technique.
In 2010, Caspar was promoted to Contracting Engineer, as part of the Contract Services team. However, with the continued growth of LMI, a full time Technical Support engineer was required in the South East. So in 2012, Caspar moved to London to take up this new role, within which he coordinated the roll out of a company- wide Live Mains Insertion training programme for SGN. In addition to this he offered onsite technical support for local Gas Distribution Networks. Caspar also helped to expand the export side of the business, growing the sales of the Keel Cutter in the Middle East and Sri Lanka.
In 2018 Caspar moved back to work at the Head Office in Bradford on Avon and was promoted to Contract Services Operations Manager, a role which he has successfully carried out over the past three years and has seen the department go from strength to strength.
