Meet the Team
Let us introduce ourselves, all the team at PETROFER UK, scroll down to meet us all individually.
We pride ourselves on our knowledge, customer focus and care.
As a team we are the local face of a global organisation and can offer the following services from our Telford offices: sales, technical support, on-site service, problem solving, sampling, laboratory analysis and transport.
Every one of us is available by telephone or e-mail and we are all looking forward to coming to your site.
I’ve been working at Petrofer since 2002 where I started off working for 10 years in the laboratory.
I then moved to the position of Office Manager where I spent my time doing day to day accounts, budgeting, excel analysis and working with suppliers. I have recently been promoted to General Manager and oversee the UK operation.
I joined Petrofer in 1994 originally working in the Telford Laboratory.
My role with the company changed in 1997 when I joined the technical sales team.
Over the years I have been fortunate to have been involved in nearly all of the manufacturing sectors where our products are utilised. In particular, I have gained a wealth of experience in heat treatment processes, metal working and parts cleaning and have a sound knowledge of the Petrofer products ideally suited for these applications.
In my spare time, I enjoy traveling around the UK with my family in our battered old motorhome and also going to music concerts and festivals.
Hi, I am Duncan Haley, Technical Sales Engineer for Petrofer UK covering Northern England and Scotland.
I have 30 years’ experience within engineering and have an in-depth knowledge of production/purchasing and the sales side of business.
I started my work journey in the role of Stock Controller for an engineering company in Sheffield. Over a short period of time, I also took over the responsibilities of Purchasing and Production Manager. It was at this point I decided to expand my knowledge and gain valuable sales experience before moving back into production, and 16 years later, here I am still in sales with a very good knowledge of technical sales within engineering covering small machine shops through to large multi-national organisations.
Away from work I enjoy playing golf with my daughter and running my son the length and breadth of the country for his football. Barbeque plays a large part of my social life, and nothing is finer than family and friends sharing good food and homebrew beer!
I started working for Petrofer at the end of 2001 after 11 years working for one of Petrofer’s customers. I’m from a maintenance background and am also a time served toolmaker after working through a 4-year apprenticeship.
My role in the company is service engineer for the North and Scottish customers and also part of the Petrofer Paper Chemicals division in a technical sales role.
I have been a member of Petrofer UK since March 2010, previous to that I worked as a technician in a motor main dealers.
As a service engineer I look after in use fluids and equipment, and assist in the running of trials.
I am based in Telford and cover the Midlands, the South and Wales.
Hope to see you soon.
