Ryan helps Statiflo gear up for Brexit

Local engineering company Statiflo has appointed Ryan Sparrow as logistics and contracts engineer as it gears up for Brexit with further expansion in markets outside of the EU.

Ryan joins Statiflo from fashion company Visage, where he was a customer co-ordinator and stock controller. Prior to that Ryan worked at Cardinal Maritime in Manchester as a senior logistics co-ordinator.

His role at Statiflo sees him responsible for managing the shipment and tracking of orders and liaising with freight forwarders, customs officials and airport authorities in territories such as Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa – all growing markets for the company.

The company, which is headquartered in Wood Street has subsidiaries in the US and Germany and is a world leader in the design and distribution of static mixers and other process equipment. Its products are used in a variety of industries, including water and wastewater treatment, oil and gas, petrochemicals, food, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper.

Gareth Fry, managing director of Statiflo, said: “Ryan has slotted in very well into an important position within the business. We are responsible for the delivery of almost every component we sell, regardless of whether its destination is the UK or overseas.”

“Even deliveries in the UK can be complex, especially when they involve our larger static mixers, as consideration has to be given to site access, safe loading and unloading.”

Ryan said: “I love the variety of the role, as every item shipped is bespoke and every job is different. It’s a great time to join Statiflo with Brexit around the corner and excellent opportunities for export growth in non-EU markets.”
