Ed Smith (pictured left) is an industry veteran of over 30 years having honed his knowledge and sales techniques at a range of IBDs across Humberside. He worked as Product Manager at Falcon Cycles and as Customer Services Manager at Superstar Components before joining Weldtite in 2019.

Dan Leather, Head of Sales, commented: “Ed’s hands on experience and passion for the UK bike industry is impressive. He is already exemplifying Weldtite values of high quality and reliability in his new role through his support of our partners and their customers.”

Phil Hubbard-Smith also began his career in an IBD, working as a mechanic at JE James. Customer Services, Analyst, Sales Manager and Partnerships Manager roles at Internet Fusion Group, LeCol and Band of Climbers followed before joining Weldtite in July 2023. After a period working on Strategic Projects, Phil has been promoted to Sales Manager – International. Phil is the primary contact for Weldtite’s international partners and will manage these accounts as well as identifying new revenue streams.

Dan Leather, Head of Sales, said: “Weldtite export to over 50 countries globally. Phil’s background in sales and marketing mixed with his knowledge of our industry puts him in a strong position to support our partners and ensure more riders are optimising their bikes with Weldtite across the world.”
