AVANTI Conveyors has announced that Michael Griffin has rejoined its team as senior systems expert.

Initially joining the company in 2011 as one of its first apprentices, Michael progressed to a role where he was programming and commissioning materials handling systems in sites across the globe.

Following almost 12 years at Avanti, Michael had a short break working for the utilities industry last year. He recently approached Avanti Conveyors to talk about rejoining the team. The firm said that it ‘didn’t hesitate’ to welcome him back, describing his skills, knowledge, and dedication as ‘highly valuable’ to the company and its customers.

Danos Damianou, software director at Avanti Conveyors, commented, “We’ve been making some significant strides in the corrugated packaging industry and have even bigger plans for the future. With Michael’s experience and expertise in this industry coupled with experience from outside the industry, we are confident we can move to the next level.

“We value everyone’s contributions and look forward to seeing the impact we can make together. Here’s to making this a successful and fulfilling journey with the guidance and support that Avanti Conveyors can offer.”

Michael Griffin added, “It is a pleasure to be back at Avanti and in an industry that I know very well. I missed the family atmosphere at Avanti and also the professional relationships with our customers throughout the world. In the last two weeks the reaction from the industry has been heart-warming and I look forward to working with our customers again.”
