Gus Gregory, managing director of workshop equipment supplier Maha UK, is retiring at the end of the year.

He will be replaced by Neil Ebbs, currently project manager at the £6m business in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. Ebbs will be backed by financial director Catherine Gregory, head of aftersales and technical support Louis Tunmore and sales manager Nick Austin.

Gregory founded the business 10 years ago with a team of four to sell Maha products directly to customers, instead of importing them through a third party. The company now has almost 40 staff and has customers across the UK.
