Vegetable grading and handling machinery specialist promotes two from aftersales support
Tong Engineering has announced two new appointments to its sales team as it continues to expand in both the UK and export markets.
Jordan Wilson has been appointed as sales manager following his work developing Tong’s aftersales support division, TongAssist.
Well known to many customers for building strong relationships, the company said he brings valuable insight into customer needs and focuses on delivering automated, efficient handling solutions to streamline operations of all sizes.
Also joining the sales team, Ian Evison has taken the role of sales-operations manager after nearly 25 years in Tong’s aftersales department. Tong said he brings deep technical expertise and a longstanding commitment to customer care, and will focus on ensuring smooth project delivery and providing knowledgeable support throughout the sales process.
“As a growing business, our teams naturally evolve, and we are committed to upholding our promise of first-class service as we strengthen connections with customers in the UK and worldwide,” said Edward Tong, managing director at Tong Engineering.
“Our core values have always been built on a sales team dedicated to providing personalised expertise and project support, working closely with customers to improve the efficiency of their post-harvest handling operations.”
Tong said the newly evolved sales structure “blends experience with fresh momentum, ensuring expert guidance and tailored handling solutions for both new and existing customers”.
Simon Lee, sales director since 2021, continues to lead the Tong sales team. The new appointments join established sales managers David Wilson and Richard Knighton, who now also leads Tong SwiftLift as general manager. Ian Hodgson also continues to support the team as sales office manager.
