"I am delighted to be given the opportunity to take this new position and dedicate my skills and enthusiasm with a company and team I enjoy working with”.

David will be tasked with representing the company on technical issues, ensuring vehicles meet regulatory standards and legal requirements, ensuring that the company adheres to technical best practice and purchases and installs appliances complying European and British standards.

Trevor Hutchinson is a new face to Elddis, after seven years in the oil and gas industry as Project Engineer where he gained valuable experience in quality assurance. He has been appointed as Quality Engineer and brings to the role extensive experience in ISO renewal, investigative skills in quality concerns and quality assurance, from test plans to certification of final products.

Trevor is delighted with his new role saying, "I joined Elddis knowing that quality across the board is key to their ongoing success. I'm really looking forward to putting my experience and skills to further use.”
