Instance Automatics, based in the UK, has appointed Steve Perkins as senior sales executive.

Commenting on the appointment, Instance Automatics’ Ian Eason said: "Steve will be a massive plus for us. He knows all the right people and is able to walk into most places and be seen without an appointment - he’s at the top of his game. I have personally known him for around 25 years and hold him in very high esteem. Instance has evolved dramatically over the last few years and Steve will be part of our next step. We have some great product coming through for the next EAG International show and we are all really looking forward to Steve being with us."

Perkins will continue to market the Universal Space range of novelty and redemption equipment supplied by PMT Sales.
