Speaking about his appointment Phil said: "I am delighted to have joined Packaging Automation and have already been impressed with the way they work.
They have a really customer focused approach and a very positive ethos behind all the work they do.
They put a lot of store on doing things properly - not cutting corners - and that really appeals to me".
Commenting on what he aims to achieve he added: "I have two main objectives.
Firstly, to look at ways of enhancing the existing equipment where possible.
It is clearly well designed and operates very well - now I want to get a feel for the customers experiences of using it in the longer term and see if there is anything else we can do to advance its functionality.
It is important to know how the equipment operates on a day-to-day basis in the field and review machine performance in the light of this.
Secondly, I will be looking at new equipment development to expand the range".
The Packaging Automation general manager Mick Davis said: "The volumetric side of the business is doing well and growing apace, alongside our traditional tray sealing equipment.
We are very confident that Phil brings the right skills and attitude to the business and will really enhance what we are offering.

The eldest is already following in his father's footsteps as an engineering apprentice.
