APS appoints procurement & parts manager

The UK’s Access Platform Sales (APS) has appointed Sophie Beeby to the newly created role of group procurement & parts development manager.

The appointment comes as APS, a leading UK distributor and after support provider, continues to expand its market presence and strengthen its footprint.

Central to the company’s core mission of enabling customers to work at height safely and efficiently, Sophie’s new role will focus on transforming the parts buying journey, streamlining supply chain operations, and managing centralised procurement.

Crucially, a key strategic driver for her role will be leveraging her operational experience to support the expansion of Palfinger assembly and manufacturing operations at the Access Platform Service & Repair (APSR) facility in Middleton, UK.

Sophie joins APS with nearly a decade of specialist industry experience. She began her career in access in 2017 with Versalift, steadily progressing through credit control, assistant accountant, customer service manager, and most recently as field service manager across the UK and Scandinavia.

Beeby said, “It’s been great to get a closer look at our extensive stock holding for leading brands such as Palfinger, Hinowa, JLG, Wienold, and Toughlift, alongside our wide range of outrigger pads and associated equipment.

“There is still plenty for me to learn, but it’s been a positive start working alongside such a knowledgeable and welcoming team, and I’m looking forward to driving the growth of our parts offer to ensure our customers have everything they need to keep their teams working safely and efficiently on site.”
