New business development manager to drive innovation and sustainability in manufacturing.

Manchester, UK — FANUC UK has announced the appointment of Tony Bentham as the new Business Development Manager for the North of England and Scotland. This strategic move underscores FANUC’s commitment to supporting regional manufacturers and academic institutions in harnessing the power of advanced robotics to enhance productivity, sustainability, and competitiveness.

With over 36 years of experience at FANUC UK, Tony Bentham brings an extensive background in robotics and customer service. His expertise will be pivotal in helping businesses navigate challenges such as rising energy costs, labour shortages, and increasing global competition.

Bentham will work closely with manufacturers, engineering firms, and academic institutions, offering bespoke support to accelerate innovation, research and development, and operational efficiency. His focus will be on demonstrating the tangible benefits of smart automation, helping organizations future-proof their operations against evolving market demands.
