A CLECKHEATON company making and supplying medical equipment for emergency services and funeral directors has strengthened its commercial team.

Steve Kerr has joined Ferno as a business development manager. He will focus on managing and developing key accounts and developing the sales of Acetech, Ferno’s vehicle intelligence system and electrical control system for ambulances and other emergency response vehicles.

Acetech provides on-board vehicle intelligence to improve vehicle efficiency and safety, while reducing operating and fuel costs.

Mr Kerr joins Ferno from ATSR, a Ferno Group company based in Ireland, where he was employed as UK sales manager for the Acetech product.

The business benefits of his move mean that the UK sales of Acetech will be credited to Ferno, which will make it simpler and quicker for UK customers to order products or spares parts.
