Business Development Manager | Electronic Components | Hybrid
Our client provides specialist electronic components for timing and frequency control
applications and can trace its origins as far back as 1973. They are based in Crewkerne, Somerset, in the UK but have a network of long-standing global customers. They are a centre of excellence in frequency products for a global group who supply electronic components to large electronics manufacturers across the world. The group employs over 7,300 colleagues in 50 countries and benefits from the global infrastructure and support.
