PCL’s Owen McCaughey Climbs the Career Ladder

Hard work has paid off for Owen McCaughey – for just under seven years after joining PCL’s customer service team as an office junior, he has been appointed Technical Sales Executive for UK and Ireland.

Owen has steadily worked his way up the career ladder since arriving aged just 17 at Sheffield-based PCL, the world-leading manufacturer of tyre inflation and compressed air products. His very first role involved answering phone calls for pricing, delivery dates, order tracking and general enquiries, along with order and data entry. These duties stood him in good stead to quickly progress to Customer Service Administrator, looking after the internal account management of European customers and prospects, whilst dealing with worldwide queries.

Through working closely with the sales team, attending exhibitions and undertaking technical product training, Owen gained invaluable experience. Two years later he replaced a retiring

Sheffield-based tyre inflation and compressed air equipment manufacturer PCL has announced the launch of its new Partner+ initiative, which is aimed at growing the brand’s market share by supporting distributors to flourish.

“The key goals of Partner+ are commitment and service,” said Sales Director Lee Wright. “The programme will suit distributors who take a broad range of our cutting-edge products. This will enable them to develop and sustain long term sales to their own customer base, rather than just transactional sales.”

In return for a Partner+ company’s commitment, PCL offers a range of incentives, including branded workwear, signage, advantageous trading and credit terms, standard and bespoke marketing support and advice on the use of mailing lists. PCL will also support on Point of Sale posters, product display stands and assistance with online promotion, including social media and website visibility.

PCL’s confidence in its market leading MK4 product range has led to the tyre inflation expert extending its warranty from 12 months to two years.

Considerable investments into the digital ACCURA® MK4 and linear AIRFORCE® MK4 have made PCL’s best product range of its kind even better. Their longevity within the most demanding of tyre shop and garage environments has significantly increased, providing extra durability in intensive indoor and outdoor applications. The ACCURA MK4 is now as robust as the toughest linear unit available, whilst the linear is as light, accurate and easy to use as the digital inflator. A biomorphic shape provides additional comfort for the user on both models.

A key factor in the handheld ACCURA and AIRFORCE MK4’s enhanced reliability is a clever two-stage valve, with
