Meet our Energy Market Manager
Meet Martin Ion, our Energy Market Manager. Martin has worked for HARTING Ltd for approximately 14 years, starting out as the Regional Manager for the North West, moving to his current role as Energy Market Manager in 2014. We had a chat with Martin to find out more about him and his role.
Martin, tell us a bit about what your job role entails.
I am responsible for all Energy market accounts and associated partners/sub-contractors in the UK and Ireland. This involves visiting customers to discuss their initial requirement for new connector design in, Customised Solution design in and any other system requirements. I work with all relevant parties within our organisation such as product management and CAD Engineering to deliver the first, off design drawings and products to the customer. Then we take the customer through their specific design to build a solution.
What do you enjoy the most about your job?
I like working for HARTING because we have a strong brand that is known for its high quality components and solutions. We have the ability to offer a wide range of solutions to solve our customer’s problems due to our excellent ‘in house’ capability, knowledge and experience to offer these solutions.
What does HARTING have to offer the energy sector?
HARTING products and solutions can reduce both on site errors and installation time by providing ‘factory built and proven’ solutions, using our range of connector products and customised solutions that meet the specification requirements for demanding and harsh environments.
What are some typical energy applications where HARTING products can be used?
HARTING products have been successfully used in sub-station applications and Wind Turbine switchgear applications within the transition piece section. These requirements range from single connectors, cable assemblies, Junction boxes and full ruggedized connectivity solution.
What do you like doing in your spare time?
I enjoy cooking, cleaning and walking my dog Miguel. I am very domesticated!
Finally, if you were trapped on a desert island, what would you take?
I would take a copy of Jamie Oliver’s new cookbook- 5 ingredients!
