Arne Dirckinck-Holmfeld to join PB Lifttechnik

Arne Dirckinck-Holmfeld, sales and marketing director at Irish scaffold and access tower manufacturer Instant UpRight, is to leave the company at the end of the year and join German powered access manufacturer PB Lifttechnik as export director.

"I got an offer to get back into the machine business, and will also have a little less travel", said Mr Dirckinck-Holmfeld. "I've had four super, challenging years with Instant." He will be based in Denmark.

John Nevin, managing director of Instant UpRight, speaking at the company's recent customer/dealer conference in Ireland, said; "Arne did a great job for us over the last three years...he helped us turn the business around."

PB Lifttechnik, based in Oberbechingen, manufactures a range of vertical mast lifts, scissors and articulating booms with working heights of up to 22 m.
