Press Release

Plextek appoints new Sales and Marketing Director

Issued 21/11/2006

Experienced head to help Plextek develop its global business

Plextek has appointed Tim Phipps as its new Sales and Marketing Director. Tim joins Plextek from TTPCom in Cambridge, a newly acquired part of Motorola's Mobile Devices business, where he was responsible for European sales. At Plextek Tim will provide a dedicated sales effort and play a pivotal role developing business globally. Primarily Tim will be focussed on Plextek's consulting services for clients requiring technical or strategic assistance with product, system or technology development, but will also work across the full breadth of Plextek's service offering.

Tim has extensive electronics experience. He has spent the last five years in sales and marketing roles but prior to this started his career as an IC and software engineer, then moving on to Symbionics where he was responsible for project and programme management of leading edge wireless product developments.

"It's a great time to be joining Plextek," comments Tim. "I'm one of 12 new people that Plextek has recruited this year as it continues to make progress developing its business outside of core product design consultancy work, by expanding into manufacturing services and launching its own products like the Blighter radar. The company is very responsive to the needs of its customers, has fantastically skilled in-house engineers and is well positioned to take advantage of the continued trend towards wireless products. I'm relishing the new challenge of helping to drive Plextek's continued success."

Colin Smithers, Managing Director, Plextek comments: "We're delighted to have brought Tim on board. Tim has spent his entire career working with wireless technology both as a hands-on engineer and in sales. These skills and experiences will make him a valuable asset as we move into the next phase of Plextek's growth."
