John Yates, a logistics and information technology professional, has joined Waer Systems as commercial manager. In this role, John will be principally responsible for developing market opportunities and for directing Waer's implementation resources. His recruitment follows the successful summer appointment of Chas Oldfield as project manager.

John (Plate 9) brings a wealth of experience to the Sussex-based supply chain management IT system supplier, and is already familiar with its products and the aerospace industry. As the logistics and IT manager at Hi-Shear Fasteners Europe, he was part of the implementation team that installed the WaerLinX warehouse management system at the BAe Systems Airbus UK facility at Broughton, near Chester, UK. More recently, he was promoted to general manager at Hi-Shear – a business employing 200 people.

Waer Systems Limited also informs us that it has just added two more recruits to its rapidly growing team.

Computer programmers Cameron Allan and Nick Horrocks will be responsible for assisting IT director Paul Maines and his team as they continue to develop the WaerLinx system and optimise its performance in its various customer applications.

Commenting to AEAT on the appointments, Waer's MD, Will Scott, stated:

Cameron and Nick will play an invaluable part in this process, and it means that Waer will be able to respond even more quickly to requests for technical solutions to the logistical problems that OEMs traditionally experience with their supply chains.
