US firm Head Rush Technologies, a manufacturer and distributor of climbing and adventure equipment, is to launch an office in the UK.
It will be led by industry professional Nate McMullan, who has worked for the past 18 years as the managing director of Climbing Wall Services.
Manufacturing will continue to take place at the company’s headquarters in Louisville, Colorado, US, while the UK office will offer localised support for builders, distributors and service centres in the country.
The company is also planning a new website to support its UK and EU branches, with English, French and German content available when it launches early next year.
Lea Ann Zuelling, president and CEO of Head Rush Technologies, commented on the hiring, saying: “The first time I met Nate, I came away extremely impressed by both his technical expertise and his business savvy.
“I remember thinking to myself, ‘This is exactly the sort of person I want on my team.’ Only a short while later, that’s exactly what happened, and I’m very excited to have him on board.
