SUMO ESTABLISH NEW TEAM
Five new appointments
Drill and cultivation equipment company, Sumo, has announced five new appointments as they grow and strengthen their UK and worldwide operations.
Robbie Polson joins the team as southern area technical sales manager. He’ll be working closely with distributors, introducing new products and changes to both drills and cultivators, planning stocking and taking orders.
The next appointment sees Will Wainwright leave the design office at Melbourne where he’s spent the past six years working on drill design, to become the company’s drill specialist. He’ll be managing demos, talking to potential customers, attending open days and sorting out any issues customers may have.
 Rob Atkins, now Mid-counties area technical sales manager, has spent the past three years with Sumo and says he is looking forward to the opportunity to pass on the knowledge he has learnt through demonstrating the drill and cultivation equipment.
 Then Christian Townend moves on from his role as the last set of eyes on the assembly line - checking all equipment before it leaves the factory and starts on its journey to the dealership – to become Northern area technical sales manager. He’s covering an area from north of the Humber bridge to the tip of Northern Scotland.
 The final member of the new team is well-known across the industry. Karen Wealleans has worked at Sumo for around 15 years, the company was started by her husband Shaun. She takes on the role of sales coordinator, providing central, office-based support for the sales team, for order taking and liaises with production to make sure order dates are achieved.
“This gives us a very strong and stable team,” says managing director Simon Herring. “The business is going from strength to strength, and we’ve some exciting new developments in the pipeline."
