a thorough grounding in the mechanical and engineering side of
the business. Several sales roles with dealerships and manufacturers
followed until Steve started his own business in 1999.

of the tracked Spiderlift market in the UK, we have worked hard
to establish and develop the market place for these niche machines.

Teupen, who develop and manufacture a market leading product.”
