Paul's strategic vision and commitment to excellence played a key role in driving innovation and ensuring ABtec remained at the forefront of the industry.

Expanding the Team

2013 marked a significant period of growth and expansion for ABtec. We welcomed two highly experienced engineers, Phil Millward and John Warburton, to our leadership team as directors. Their combined expertise and dedication further enhanced our capabilities and reinforced our commitment to delivering exceptional technology solutions.

Additionally, our relocation to new, larger offices at Armstrong Point provided the much-needed space to accommodate our growing team and support our ambitious plans for the future. This move marked a new chapter in our company's history, providing a modern and inspiring environment for our employees to collaborate and innovate.
