Our Office Manager - Angela Steels

Angela first joined Plantool Ltd in June 2001 having come from a financial background. Angela started her career working for Midland Bank back in 1980 after which she had several years break while her children were small returning to the world of work for a local company who had dealings with chemical waste management and precious metal reclamation as a book-keeper. Angela then moved on to an international company who manufactured Polyurethane and Epoxy Resins for the construction industry once again as their book-keeper. Finally Angela found a home at Plantool initially to run the office with the then part-time help of one of the director’s and co-owner of Plantool, Mrs Margaret Webb.

Plantool was a much smaller place in those days having only three depots at Leamington Spa, Daventry and Warwick. Plantool has since doubled in size, now having six depots and a nice new Head Office suite, and now Angela is responsible for all of the day to day running of the Head Office with the help of her colleagues Mrs Maria Malin who oversees the Sales Ledger and Miss Ellie Lake who oversees the Purchase Ledger.

Our Plant Manager - Dave Smith

Dave started in the plant industry from school and was offered an apprenticeship with a local company repairing earthmovers and dump trucks. Dave finished his apprenticeship and went into plant hire business as a plant fitter for a period of around 10 years. Due to the company selling up Dave left the hire business and returned in 2004 to start work at Plantool where he started at the Daventry depot as a fitter. Dave with his vast experience was then asked to start mentoring new young staff and has developed 3 apprentices. Dave has progressed to become Plantool`s plant manager where he looks after a small team performing repairs, breakdowns and LOLER inspections.
