Donaldson Timber Engineering appoints new general manager of Andover branch

Donaldson Timber Engineering (DTE) has appointed Sean Annells as general manager of its branch in Andover, Hampshire.

Annells, who joined the leading truss manufacturer in 2015 as a design technician and has more than 20 years’ experience in the industry, said: “This is a great opportunity and I’m really looking forward to leading the team at Andover.

“Over the least two decades, I feel like I’ve picked up many of the best practices for customer service and operational management and I can’t wait to make a start at building on the already terrific work we do at Andover, and across all of DTE’s branches.”

He started his career at Gang-Nail Systems in 1996 as a trainee design engineer and worked his way up through the design team before becoming a technical support representative. Following 16 years with Gang-Nail, Annells took positions at Consultec Timber Frame and Scandia Hus.

Jonathan Fellingham, managing director of DTE, said: “With hands–on experience of product design, combined with roles involving client support, Sean has a proven ability to understand the needs of our customers and ensure that we provide solutions to support their projects efficiently and cost effectively.”
