Anritsu has made two senior appointments to strengthen even further the involvement of European managers in its global organisation. Clive Telford has been promoted to the position of Managing Director of Anritsu Ltd, which is the holding company for all of Anritsu's European operations. He was previously the General Manager of the company's European Regional Operation.
Anritsu employs over 400 people in Europe in a range of functions, including design, manufacturing, marketing, sales and after-sales support.
Anritsu has been achieving dramatic sales growth in Europe.
Last year, the company's European sales, across all product groups, increased by almost 90% to GBP 163 million.
Growth was particularly strong in measurement products, including market-leading products for the measurement of new communications technologies and devices, which include a wide range of high-speed optical and digital components for communications applications.
Telford joined Anritsu two and a half years ago from Motorola, where he had held a number of positions - ranging from operations to sales and marketing - in the company's semiconductor and equipment businesses.
He has a BSc in electronics and a post-graduate qualification in digital systems.
The post of General Manager of the European Regional Operation has been filled by the promotion of Barry Parkin.
Parkin, who is a director of Anritsu Ltd, will be responsible for sales, after-sales support, marketing and custom systems throughout Europe.
Parkin joined Anritsu four years ago, having previously held sales and marketing director level positions with Marconi and Loral.
In his new position he will report to Anritsu's International Sales Management Centre in the USA.
Parkin has an electronics engineering background.
He speaks French and German fluently and has a working knowledge of a number of other European languages.
