Finally a \u2018 the silver surfer\u2019 has been given the opportunity to write a blagg<\/span> blogg and put forward a different perspective on what is changing within Phoenix Contact UK.<\/p>\n

So by way of introduction I promise not to talk about components and eulogise about data rates, flashing LED\u2019s and limitless features that potentially excite us Engineers.<\/p>\n

My name is Tony Parrott and I have been with Phoenix Contact 5 years and since August 2017 my role within Phoenix Contact has had the new catchy title of Business Development Manager \u2013 Machine Building. Why have we done this and what does it mean to you in the competitive world of manufacturing?<\/p>\n

We want to be your partner in solving issues with machine build, performance and quality. Our outlook is much more how we work with you on your applications so you gain a competitive advantage with the machines you take to market.<\/p>\n
