Leading cable cleat manufacturer, Ellis Patents has strengthened its export credentials by appointing a second export manager.

Isabelle Gantier-Houston, from Paris, has worked extensively in export, sales and marketing roles during her 20 plus year career and joins a sales team that actively sells into over 50 different international markets.

Kelly Brown, Ellis Patents sales director, said: “Exports account for over half of our annual turnover, with sales being achieved through an international network of local distributors who work on our behalf in every country we export to.”

“With international travel well and truly back on the agenda, Isabelle’s experience will be pivotal in helping to deliver our export strategy and in ensuring we provide support to each and every company within our network.”

Used to secure electrical power cables so that they stay safely in place during a short circuit, Ellis Patents reputation is such that its cable cleats will almost certainly be in the specification frame at the beginning of any new major construction project; whether onshore or offshore; no matter where in the world it is.

“The Ellis Patents success story is an incredible one and I’m looking forward to the challenge of adding a few new chapters to it,” said Isabelle.
