Technical Sales

Perry have a team of Area Sales Managers that are based in various locations in the UK and globally. There is also an in-house sales team, based at the factory that produce all of the quotations and drawings that get sent to dealers and customers.

The experienced engineers are all from varied backgrounds, giving Perry the advantage of having engineers with experience from many sectors.

With help from the in-house sales team, all sales managers are able to help Perry dealers take a project through from concept, to design, manufacture, installation, on-going support and service contracts, where required.

We are very sad to say that Bob Tatlow passed away just before Christmas 2025.  Our thoughts are with his family & friends.

Bob is a big loss to the industry as he had multiple decades of knowledge in bulk materials handling and was a firm supporter of  Shapa and Bulkex.

He worked for us from 2018 until he retired in August 2024 and during that time he was a very valued member of the team and helped us to secure some significant contracts.

You will be missed Bob.

We are really happy with the Perry equipment, we would recommend it. Having built the Dryer ourselves we can vouch for the simplicity of the Perry equipment, but it is also built to a great standard, making it reliable. We are really happy with our new plant. We know & trust the Perry machines and have found their staff to be helpful, friendly, knowledgeable who aim to please.
