Daltons Wadkin, the Nottingham distributor and manufacturer of industrial woodworking machinery, has grown its team by five.
The Nottingham-based business, which was established in 1901, has appointed Megan Sneath (service administrator), Bradley Nightingale (CNC support engineer), Peter Watson (operator training), Neville Gunn (warehouse operator) and Michael King (workshop fitter).
Alex Dalton, director at Daltons Wadkin, said: “We’ve been in a very fortunate position as a business to be able to grow the team recently off the back of a successful year.
“Given the current circumstances, we’re not sure how long that will last for, but we’re trying to stay as positive as possible and we came into the new year with the attitude that if the opportunity is there we’re going to grasp it with both hands. As a business, that is going to be our intention going forward.”
