Integration Technology gets new MD

UV curing developer Integration Technology has a new MD in the form of automotive industry specialist Simon Roberts.

The former MD of Antonov Automotive Ltd - who in the past has also led business development and strategy for Tata Motors UK as well as product group and business development for Ricardo UK - takes on day-to-day operational responsibility at the Oxfordshire-based business, working alongside founder Adrian Lockwood who remains as chief executive. Roberts’ skills span technical consultancy services, software, engineered products and capital equipment, new product development and the commercialisation of engineered products. "Simon's expertise greatly complements the existing broad depth of industry and technical knowledge residing within the current team," said Lockwood, now working specifically on high level strategic planning for Integration Technology and supporting parent company, IST Group. "It was a positive decision to appoint someone from outside of the digital or UV industry to this post, and he brings fresh thinking and leadership skills to assure the next stage in our growth." Simon Roberts adds: "I am excited to be playing a major role in the development of one of the market's most innovative developers alongside such an experienced management team."
