Marianne brings a wealth of experience to this role. For the past twenty years, she has worked within technology and product development.

This included working with large corporates including the RBS Group, Lloyds Banking Group and BT, on their strategic product development.
Speaking about this exciting role, Marianne says: “This is an interesting new challenge and one I am really looking forward to taking on. It is an exciting time within the manufacturing industry at the moment. Industry 4.0 is revolutionising manufacturing processes, provoking major developments in digitalisation and automation, creating a prime opportunity for MSP to expand and develop”.
Keith will be a key member of the commercial team. Working closely with Renishaw, he will oversee the UK expansion of MSP’s products, including the development of new business and managing existing customer relationships. He will support both Renishaw and MSP customers across the UK, promoting MSP’s main products NC-Checker and NC-PerfectPart, ensuring installations have been successful and keeping customers up-to-date with new features and improvements.

On his appointment, Keith comments: “I am delighted to join MSP and look forward to meeting customers and promoting MSP’s innovative products. My engineering background and past technical training will help better understand the needs of customers and communicate this back to provide a high level of customer satisfaction. I have always worked for companies at the forefront of modern technology and MSP are no exception”.
