Newly independent Atlas Cranes UK has announced the appointment of two new directors to join Fil Filipov and Veronique Filipov on the UK company's board.
Jim Smith becomes commercial director, while Jackie Kilcoyne is now finance director. They both report directly to Fil Filipov who recently acquired the company from Terex Corporation.
At the same time the company has also announced its intention to recruit four additional service engineers based in Hull, Kettering, Worcester and Norwich.
Smith joined the loader crane specialist in 1986 and is one of the company’s longest serving employees. He was previously commercial sales manager and project manager for the company’s defence business – which he continues to oversee.
Kilcoyne is currently financial controller for Terex Atlas UK having joined the company in 2006. She previously worked for British Energy as a financial accountant and before that as a corporate recovery manager with Stoy Hayward/Moores Rowland.
Filipov said: “It is always a pleasure to recognise and reward the contribution of loyal, talented and committed company members. I very much look forward to working with Jim and Jackie as we take the business forward in the weeks and months ahead.”
Smith added: “Our appointments come at a particularly exciting time for the business which is already implementing plans to invest in the future for the benefit of customers. The expansion of our service network is a good example of this.”
