Strategic appointment for food and drink sector

This follows a record 18 months for the company.

Steve Spencer has been working with conveyor and automation solutions for nearly 20 years and joins the team following a 11-year stint as sales director at Arnott Conveyors. At LAC, he will be responsible for the food and drink sector. The business already works with several clients in this space including Coca-Cola, Greggs, Nestle and Walkers Crisps

Steve said: “The UK is still some way behind our European counterparts with the uptake of robotic and automation solutions within manufacturing and a lot of my work will be helping to address this balance.

“We need to help companies understand the benefits and offer the right support and solutions to help increase UK productivity levels to a greater position than they are at present.”
