Leading UK conveyor manufacturer, Advance Automated Systems, has recently increased its engineer headcount at its Newton Aycliffe manufacturing facility. The move comes due to an increase in sales and a greater level of bespoke, turnkey projects.

Gabriele Akstinaite joins as a project design engineer following a project manager role and graduation from Northumbria University; Craig Leadbitter joins as a design engineer following a similar position at Roman Showers; Emma O’Leary joins as project engineer having gained industry experience at Hitachi Rail and Jaan Anwar starts as a design engineer following a previous role as an industrial engineer.

They join us at a very busy period of growth for the company and we look forward to them becoming important members of our team.”
