Tong Engineering expands its Project Management Team

Leading handling equipment manufacturer for potatoes and vegetables, Tong Engineering, has announced a number of key new appointments as part of an ongoing commitment to its growing customer base.

Edward Tong, Managing Director at Tong Engineering:
 

“As our equipment advances, we have an increasing number of projects that require dedicated project management due to their scale or complexity.”

“With this in mind, we have expanded our project management team in order to maintain the very best customer service, support and attention to detail at every stage of the production process.”

Dave Clarke joins the team with over 23 years of experience in mechanical and electrical engineering, completing roles for manufacturers and end-user companies within the automation, robotics and food industries.

Since joining Tong in 2015, Dave has been responsible for all aspects of electrical design and support, overseeing several large-scale Tong project installations.

Dave Clarke:
 

“My growing involvement with our more complex projects meant a move into a more dedicated project management role was a natural step for me.”

“I am excited to join the project management team within such an established company that retains family values of integrity, loyalty and reliability at its heart.”

“Having worked across several departments at Tong, my new role brings the opportunity to work even closer with customers to ensure we continue to provide advanced handling solutions that exceed their expectations.”

Alongside the appointment of Dave Clarke, Tong has also recently appointed Elliot Stones within the growing project management team.

Elliot began his engineering career after gaining his degree in Industrial Design and Manufacture at Loughborough University.

He joined Tong’s design department in 2013, working on 3D design and product development, before increasing his relations with Tong customers at the technical design stage.

Elliot Stones:
 

“Innovative design and site-based project management can be critical to delivering projects that bring real efficiencies, on time and within budget.”

“As a project management team, we take pride in understanding our customer’s requirements to the finest detail, and ensuring the smooth-running of each project, with minimal disruption to current processes.”

Edward Tong:
 

“Our vision is to work together with our customers to build progressive solutions and dependable partnerships.”
