"I am looking forward to being part of the team fulfilling the objectives that have been set for the UK and Ireland.
Arnold has a very professional approach to customer service and is providing the dedicated technical support needed to look after customers in the UK and Ireland." He added: "I will be working on further developing the region's market for Arnold.
