WFEL Ltd, a world leader in the supply of rapidly-deployable military bridging systems, is pleased to announce the appointment of Ian Anderton as Managing Director, succeeding Ian Wilson, who will shortly retire from the company.
Ian Anderton brings with him extensive experience of the defence industry, coupled with a strong background in operational improvement. For many years, Ian held senior management roles within BAE Systems, including Managing Director of the Munitions Division and COO roles within BAE’s Maritime Division, responsible for both submarines and warships.
Prior to his time at BAE, Ian was General Manager for Pirelli Power Cables and also spent some 12 years in a variety of leadership roles within ICI.
Ian said, “WFEL’s military bridging products have a worldwide reputation for quality and adaptability and I am delighted to be joining the organisation, which I see as a company with a tremendous heritage and with great potential for future growth. I am very much looking forward to helping the business further develop.
“I have already been impressed with the dedication, passion and depth of technical ability within the WFEL team and, together, we will focus on addressing the developing needs of our increasing worldwide customer base, to ensure we remain a world-leading supplier of military bridging equipment.”
In order to ensure a smooth transition, Ian Wilson will remain with the company until the summer. Commenting on his forthcoming retirement, Ian Wilson said, “After more than 30 years at WFEL, it is now time to hand over the reins and I am supremely confident of leaving the company in the very capable hands of Ian Anderton, who will play a vital role in driving the company forward through its next period of growth”.
TAMPA, FL, April 11, 2018 – Meopta has named Randy Garrison Director of Meopta USA Sport Optics. In this role, Garrison will lead day-to-day operations of the division including sales, marketing, advertising, product development and finance.
Garrison brings more than 23 years of experience in the sport optics business to his role. Prior to joining Meopta, Garrison served as General Manager of Nikon Sport Optics. He is also an avid outdoorsman and hunter.
“Randy’s in-depth knowledge of optics and extensive experience in the hunting and shooting industry make him the ideal choice to lead Meopta USA Sport Optics as we implement our aggressive new growth strategy,” said Gerald Rausnitz, CEO of Meopta. “We are extremely pleased to have him on our team.”
“Meopta is a true optical powerhouse, and I am excited and honored to join the company as they celebrate their 85th anniversary” said Garrison. “Before accepting my position, I visited Meopta’s European headquarters where they employ 2,600 people and was impressed by the incredibly high-caliber equipment used to manufacture their optics. They are unique in many ways from designing and manufacturing their own premium, high-performance optics – rather than outsourcing as most companies do – to the management structure of being an American-owned European brand. Meopta is poised to significantly increase its market share here in the U.S., and they are providing me with all the tools necessary to make that happen. This will ultimately benefit dealers and consumers alike.”
