Cold storage and blast freezing specialist Blue Cube has appointed experienced sales leader Mark Yates as its new Head of Sales to lead its ambitious growth plans.
With more than 35 years’ experience across engineering, operations and sales – both in the UK and internationally – Yates brings a wealth of expertise in sectors including food, pharmaceuticals, water and automotive. Most recently he spent three years as Sales and Marketing Director at fluid power business Thorite.
In his new role, Yates will lead Blue Cube’s bold growth strategy, strengthen key customer relationships and support the regional sales team.
Mark said: “It’s been clear to me from the outset that Blue Cube is a fantastic business with big ambitions, brilliant people and the best technology.
“Our equipment helps customers save money and maximise efficiency, which is more critical than ever. With rising energy and labour costs, we’re in a strong position to make a real difference to businesses across the UK.
“I see a huge opportunity for us to improve profitability and productivity for many more customers in multiple sectors and I’m really looking forward to being part of the team that makes that happen.”
He added: “The fact we’re also offering renewable technologies with our cold stores and blast freezers to further reduce carbon emissions demonstrates our customers’ priorities are our priorities.”
Yates began his career with a five-year Mechanical Engineering Apprenticeship before moving into senior roles at Compair UK, Bauer Kompressoren and Busch UK.
Blue Cube’s Managing Director Alan Hunt said: “Mark has exactly the right combination of expertise, leadership and passion for exceptional service.
“His energy and strategic mindset will be instrumental in driving our growth and I’m confident he’ll quickly make a significant, positive impact in our business.”
