PI UK Country Manager Starts on May 30, 2022
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that Warren Harvard will join PI as the Country Manager for PI UK on May 30, .
Warren is originally from South Africa but now lives in the UK with his wife and two children aged 14 and 11. Warren is a keen fisherman, golfer (handicap of 14, so not quite David Rego level), and has a passion for motorcross and a bit of adrenaline.
For the past 15 years, Warren has been working for Festo and previously held the position of National Sales Manager for the South African team, with responsibility for eight digit sales targets. For the past five years, Warren has been the Product Manager for Festo’s industrial automation products in the UK, with a focus on increasing electric drive technolgy sales.
Warren has a passion for working with and leading great teams, as well as for supporting individuals in reaching their potential.
In his new role, Warren will take over from Kevin Grimley in leading the complete PI UK team. However, Kevin will still continue to be a key member of the team, and will retain his title of Managing Director for legal correspondence, whilst the responsibility of leading PI UK into its new chapter will be Warren's.
On behalf of PI, I would like to thank Kevin for his incredible work for more than two decades leading PI UK.
I am honoured and excited to join the PI family, and look forward to working with the organisation in my new role.
I am passionate about technology, sales strategies, and people development whilst having a little fun at the same time, and believe that I am well positioned to lead the PI UK team into the next phase of growth, building on the strong foundation already established.
Warren has a National Diploma in Electronic Engineering, and is a fully-qualified electrician by trade.
Please join me in welcoming Warren to the PI family!
Best regards
Richard Moss
Global Head of Sales Operations & Customer Experience
