Fishburn said: “Snorkel is committed to providing the highest standard of aerial work platform sales and service in the UK market. We are continuing to appoint high calibre people, who can effectively deliver our service expectations to our customer base. Chris and Alistair bring a substantial level of industry knowledge and experience to our team, as well as existing relationships that are invaluable to growing our sales footprint. I am also extremely pleased to be able to provide Joseph with an opportunity to continue his career journey within our business. He is smart and articulate, and I am confident that he will grasp this opportunity and continue to develop. Lisa is a fantastic addition to our team, and her solid background, organisational skills and customer focus is already making a big impact on our business.”

All four new team members have joined the company this month, with all but Whitton kicking off their new jobs at the recent Vertikal Days event.
