Bronto Skylift has added to its product support service in the UK with the re-location and promotion of two experienced technicians to look after the UK/Ireland market.

It has also said that it will launch the first of a number of new training initiatives at Vertikal Days in May.

The first new appointment sees Andre Kunwald, who has been with Bronto since 2012, relocating to the UK where he will work alongside the manufacturer’s current service partners - RE Foster in Thame and CPS in Pontefract as a service support engineer.

The company announcement said: “Kunwald has a strong operational and mechanical background which will serve him well in his role as service engineer and trouble shooter. This move will help build our existing relationship with service partners RE Foster and CPS and is part of our strategy to get closer to our growing customer base in the UK.”

In the second new appointment Aku Tuominen has been promoted to UK service and parts liaison support manager based at the factory in Finland, in order to support the roll out of an “enhanced product support service” for the UK. Aku has a long history with Bronto as a test operator since 2005, and has built up a comprehensive technical and electrical knowledge base in this time.
