Senior Management
Peter is the founder and owner of Intertronics. He started the business selling replacement soldering iron tips. Having witnessed seismic technical and commercial changes in the UK electronics manufacturing industry over the last four decades, and rolling with the punches, he now presides over an adhesives business with a diverse, technical customer base. He spends a lot of time thinking strategically, finding new people to work in the company, finding new products to sell, and mentoring the Senior Management Team (the people who really run the business). He loves trying to keep up with the latest sales & marketing trends, and generates a lot of our marketing content.
Peter is a Visiting Fellow at Cranfield University School of Management, a Non-Executive Director of a technology PCB start-up, and runs an SME networking group. In spare moments he attempts to assuage his GAS (guitar acquisition syndrome), tries to play all these guitars, supports Northampton Saints rugby club, and muses over many past Glastonbury festivals.
Teresa started at Intertronics over ten years ago and has continued to grow and develop within the company ever since. Her official job title is Finance and Personnel Manager, but in real terms, she is the doer of all things that need doing (a.k.a. Office Mum).
She looks after our operations team, general office facilities, and is a member of our Senior Management Team. Teresa will often be the one to ask the difficult questions and challenge the status quo, all whilst smiling the day away.
Her main passions outside of work are her children, husband and dog; they are also the reason she likes to drink wine and spend time with her friends at spas.
Ben has gone from working in our warehouse as a teenager to joining our Senior Management Team as the Sales Manager (via an economics degree and a seven-year career elsewhere, including two-years living in the US) and is an annoyingly optimistic influence well known for his catchphrase; “we go again!”
Ben overseas our sales function and is passionate about products, spreadsheets, and Guinness.
A huge sports enthusiast and if you like talking about the NFL then he will never leave you alone.
Our Technical Manager, Kevin, started his time at Intertronics as part of the Sales Team in 2008. Since then, he has gone on to lead our fantastic technical department in their quest to produce tailored, efficient dispensing and curing archytas systems.
Kevin plays a vital role in supporting the sales team and customers with answers to tricky challenges and applications. Often on the road, he covers the whole of the UK to provide technical support, installation and (his most favourite) training.
Kevin has worked in the adhesives industry for over 20 years and is a total geek both at work and home. Outside of Intertronics, Kevin lives in Northampton and is part of multiple church groups. He is a retired ice/roller hockey goalie and referee but still likes to return to the rink to watch the MK Lightning when he can and hog the TV to watch endless highlights of an evening. He is pretty handy in the kitchen too!
Sales and Marketing
Having been part of the Intertronics story for over 30 years, Paul shares his experience and knowledge with the newer members of our team. As a Manufacturing Engineering Graduate, he has progressed from an engineering career, through Project and Technical Management into a predominantly Technical Sales role within our business together with special responsibility for Strategic Accounts.
Away from the business Paul enjoys time with his family and four dogs, as well as fitting in the odd round of golf.
Andrew joined the Intertronics Sales Team in 2018 and now works alongside Paul Whitehead to look after our customers in the Northern region of the UK. He also takes shared responsibility for looking after our Strategic Accounts.
Andrew relishes the varied and technical customer base he gets to work with and always enjoys a geeky conversation about the abstract, the wacky and the challenging. The most important part of his work is collaborating with customers to understand their requirements, protecting their supply stability and keeping their production lines running.
Since purchasing his first house in 2021, Andrew has played an active role in his village community and can either be found ringing bells at the local church or righting the world’s wrongs at the pub on weekends.
Matt is a Technical Sales Executive covering the West of the UK. With over seven years of technical expertise under his belt, he supports and solves customer challenges with his wide-ranging knowledge of adhesives and associated equipment.
Matt loves getting hands-on, understanding how things work and seeing our equipment used first-hand at our customer’s sites.
When out of the office, he enjoys comedy, watching and playing football, fishing and spending time with his family.
Since joining Intertronics ten years ago as a Technical Sales Executive, Simon has supported our customers in the eastern territory.
Playing his part as the external member of Team East, Simon enjoys problem-solving and working collaboratively with our customers to provide the best possible outcome, both technically and commercially. Having spent a large proportion of his career specialising in the field of UV curing, he now enjoys the broader range of technical challenges presented by our customers.
Simon has found himself married into a family of football fanatics, so spends many (happy?) weekends watching football in North London – white, not red!
As Internal Sales Executive for the East region of the UK, Darren works in partnership with Simon Gibbs. Often one of your first points of contact at Intertronics, he is adept at resolving your queries and can offer quick, authoritative technical support.
Darren is deeply inspired by the enthusiasm of our customers to reach their full potential and relishes the opportunity to make an impact.
Outside work Darren is heavily involved in the local youth rugby club. He is the Head coach for the Gosford All Blacks U7’s, a Youth committee member at the club and an advocate for Visually Impaired Rugby. Darren has a strong interest in ‘heavy metal’ – the music genre, not the metals that we bond with using our adhesives!
As the Marketing Exec at Intertronics, it’s Steve’s job to create interesting, thought-provoking content and showcase the tools and capabilities Intertronics has at its disposal.
Often spending hours tweaking, updating, and reorganising our company website with videos, products, and technical articles, it’s Steve’s aim to help you find exactly what you are looking for, at a click of a button.
When not at the office, you’ll usually find him and his partner scrambling up a cold, wet mountain in the Lake District with their Border Collie, Max.
Technical
Chris joined Intertronics in 2021, after spending 15 years working in the manufacturing sector. His specialist knowledge of CNC equipment and computer-aided design allows our technical team to produce purpose designed tools and jigs for our customers.
Chris delights in the opportunity to get hands-on with each of his projects, learning how everything works and tinkering to his heart’s content.
A keen motorcyclist outside of work, Chris attends many charity events and camping weekends with his local biker club. He has also passed his foundation radio license, allowing him to communicate with contacts around the world.
After studying engineering at school, James started his career by completing work experience and summer jobs with major car manufacturers. He has over seven years of computer-aided design experience under his belt and is now adept at building enclosures for gantry and multi-axis robots.
James spends many hours at his workbench servicing our customer’s various pieces of equipment and gets involved with materials and equipment trials in our Technology Centre.
Outside of work, James likes to go bouldering in different venues around the UK, spending time with friends and competing in online e-sports tournaments.
Operations
As part of the finance team, Leila loves to dig into our financials and create fantastic, detailed reports. She’s an eager problem solver, with over 10 years of experience. Leila is also an adept credit controller and is tasked with managing the all-important bank account and ensuring that our suppliers are paid on time.
You may be surprised to hear that Leila’s career path had a different start; she holds a BA hon in Jewellery and still enjoys creating pieces in her free time.
Amanda is the newest member of the accounts team, bringing 20 years of accountancy experience along with her. Often creating invoices and running our bank reconciliation, she is hardworking and eager to expand her knowledge and develop her role.
Amanda recently used her capable project management skills to oversee the building of her new family home. She put the whole family to work on the site, pulling in electrical cables, fixing cedar cladding and plastering.
With the little time Amanda has left in the day, she can usually be found watching F1 racing or cheering on her daughter’s football teams, Abingdon U11s and Kidlington Women.
John is the third longest-serving employee at the company, having started his Intertronics career some 29 years ago. As our Logistics and Quality Manager, it’s John’s responsibility to keep all our policies and procedures in check so that we can provide a consistently high level of reliability and service to our customers and suppliers.
Father of five sporty kids, John spends many evenings and weekends cheering on their respective teams from the sidelines.
James has been supporting your orders and managing our stock for over seven years. Quotes, proformas, pricing the all-important “where’s my order?” question, he’s always quick to respond in his positive and upbeat manner.
Jimmy’s our resident dangerous goods guru for shipping our boxes overseas via IATA regulations.
A Scout leader and avid rugby fan, he also supports the local community by organising our regular Intertronics food bank donations.
When not at work, he can usually be found outside in the chilly, wet, and windy British weather, either on a campsite or rugby pitch.
Joel joined our team in 2016, bringing with him 14+ years of warehouse knowledge and understanding. It’s Joel’s job to make certain the warehouse runs as smoothly as possible, ensuring goods move accurately in and out of the building and stock is stored correctly. With his forklift truck license, he is able to make full use of our warehouse facilities for all our equipment and materials.
When he isn’t discussing the latest NFL Fantasy Football tactics with our Sales Manager, Joel, who is a keen golfer, can often be found hacking his way around his local golf course trying to keep his handicap in the low teens.
As our Warehouse Operative, it’s Henry’s job to label, pick and pack the multitude of products we store in our UK based facility. Since starting in 2016, Henry has played an active role in improving processes, with his keen eye for detail.
Before Intertronics, Henry, who is a self-confessed foodie, worked as a trained chef for 12 years in restaurants both locally and around the world. Lucky for his colleagues, he still enjoys rustling up culinary creations and testing them out in the office.
