"My favourite thing about living and working in Cumbria is, wherever you go, there are gorgeous views and I enjoy the peace and quiet that walking in the hills brings. I love working with people who I have known for many years. I have forged many friendships both within and outside of work."
Kate Packham - Sales Office Manager

"I chose to work at Lyon because of the location in which we are based, the friendliness of the staff, and the brands we work closely with.

I mainly input customers’ orders onto our system, but I also provide quotations, work with the Finance Department with managing accounts and answer technical queries for our industrial customers.

The favourite part of my role is helping our customers with their enquiries and helping to find the products they need."
Owain Rice - Technical Sales and Accounts Administrator

"I chose to work at Lyon as I was looking to continue progressing my career working in the outdoor equipment industry. Lyon Equipment had a reputation as a great company to work for.

My favourite thing about working at Lyon in my current role is that every day is different. A summary of my job is to take a customer request for a product and see it through from the initial idea to manufacturing. The process involves communicating with the customer to understand the initial request then design, prototyping, testing and facilitating the manufacturing of the final product."
Lucy Johnson - Product Designer and Prototyper

"Trying to think how a typical day in the life of a Petzl rep works can be a challenge, as very few days are the same.

All our customers look to us for products to help them either work safely at height or in the dark and we work across many different niches; from renewable energies, through to tree care and each industry needs a slightly different approach"

Jon Morgan - Petzl Sales Representative
