“The move to further develop and expand the engineering and technical areas has created an exciting new chapter for Cartwright and allows me to spend time on innovation and ideas for future product development that are sometimes out of the box, but which will enable Cartwright to stay at the forefront of the industry.”
Group Managing Director Mark Cartwright added: “Our growth in recent years has been unprecedented and we recognised the major benefits we can potentially develop for our customers through investing in Lionel`s passion and skills as an innovator.
“We believe we now have the dream ticket, having appointed a highly experienced engineer in Michael Bolger to head our engineering team and allowing Lionel Curtis the time and flexibility to focus on innovation and development projects that will hopefully be game changers for the future.”
