25 January 2010

The Engineering Employers' Federation (EEF) has appointed Terry Scuoler (pictured) as its new Chief Executive. Mr Scuolar is currently Managing Director of Ferranti Technologies and will commence his new role on March 15th.

Mr Scuolar served as an Infantry Officer for five years before beginning his commercial career in publishing and the construction industry. Following this he joined Royal Ordnance (now part of BAE Systems) as European Marketing Manager. Here he worked in a number of divisions in the UK and overseas in commercial, procurement, project and general management roles.

In 1999 he became Managing Director of Ferranti Technologies, which specialises in supplying avionic and mission planning sub systems, power and control systems and tailored services to the aerospace & defence markets. He has returned the company from years of decline and a loss-making situation to one of substantial growth and profitability.

Commenting on his new appointment, Terry Scuoler said:

“I am delighted to take on this role at such a crucial time for our sector and the economy. Manufacturing remains central to our future as a high value, high skill employer and we now have an ideal opportunity to ensure this is widely recognised.”

“As one of the UK’s leading business organisations EEF has a key role to play in both shaping policy and enhancing its business services. Both of these will be crucial in improving both the business environment for and the competitiveness of our sector.”
