Derek Wright has set himself a new
challenge - to become a leading
solutions manager within SSI
Schaefer focusing on the role of
automation in today's expanding
logistics sector.
Starting out as a junior autoparts sales executive at the age of 19 before his promotion to MoD account manager, Wright, now 31, is relishing in his new role as solutions manager, focusing on combi-projects: installations that require both static and automated storage and distribution systems.
Moving from the MoD side of the business into automation was quite a transition for Wright with a steep learning curve and challenge that he has risen to. Although now responsible for projects in the value of one million plus, he also supports Schaefer's regional sales managers on combi-projects at all value levels
