The Woodworking Machinery Suppliers’ Association has appointed Geoff Isenman to take over the role of technical executive when Tony Kaye retires on April 30.

Mr Isenman has been involved in the woodworking machinery industry for more than 35 years. His product knowledge stretches from standard woodworking machinery to the sophistication of CNC machinery.

“I have been involved with WMSA since its inception,” he said. “I’m delighted to be working with the various trade and government bodies to deliver value and influence for WMSA members.”

Tony Kaye joined the association in 1992 and is well known for his extensive knowledge of machinery matters. The WMSA will be honouring his long service at this year’s AGM.
