Andrew Flood has been promoted to UK business manager and David Bennett to UK and Ireland regional director.

Flood's new role will see him responsible for Topcon Positioning GB business while Bennett will oversee the UK and Ireland subsidiaries.

Andreas Strunk, European Subsidiaries vice president, said: "I am extremely proud of the team and all they have achieved so far. These changes will further contribute to strengthening the European Subsidiaries organisational structure. I look forward to more great results, and I wish both Andrew and David the best in their new roles."

Flood has more than 15 years of experience in sales in the UK Survey and Construction business. Andy joined Topcon in 2013, starting as regional account manager and developing his experience and skills in construction and distribution sales. During his time, Flood has taken on the responsibility of managing the UK distribution sales for the full Topcon offering and increasing distribution sales, leading to his promotion to sales manager.

Flood has assisted in bringing on new distribution partners over the years. He has also been instrumental in improving the capability of Topcon's UK distribution partners due to the close relationship he has with our key customers.

Bennett joined Topcon in 2013 as the business manager for Topcon Great Britain's positioning business with responsibility for expanding the business and increasing Topcon market share in Great Britain. Following successful business growth, the positioning business separated from the eyecare business in 2018, and Topcon Positioning GB was established as a limited company. This resulted in Bennett's promotion to the role of managing director. Bennett has helped develop a strong team that has raised the profile of Topcon in Great Britain and increased our market share.

Topcon Positioning GB is a subsidiary of Livermore, California, U.S.-headquartered Topcon Positioning Group. The Group design, manufacture and distribute precision measurement and workflow solutions for the global construction, geospatial and agriculture markets.
