Soyang announces retirement of Tim Egerton

Soyang Europe has announced the retirement of its sales manager, Tim Egerton, who has worked for the company since 2012.

Egerton, who will officially retire on December 11^th, has worked as sales manager for Soyang Europe since joining the company 13 years ago. In a statement on his retirement, Soyang says that he “has played an integral role in the business’s evolution into a leading provider of high-quality media and hardware solutions.”

Before working at Soyang, Egerton worked as the technical product manager for both Brook International and Bainbridge International.

Earlier this year, Egerton was given the diagnosis of onset Parkinson’s and was advised by doctors to take time for himself and his family. Despite his diagnosis, Egerton still participated in ‘Ride the Trossachs’, a cycle event across the Scottish Highlands, raising funds for charity in the process.

Looking ahead to his retirement, Egerton plans to take part in another cycling event next year, again in Scotland, as well as enjoy some rest and relaxation.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working at Soyang Europe,” Egerton says. “I never imagined I would visit Soyang Technologies in China in the first year with the company. It was fascinating not only to see first-hand the manufacturing processes but also to meet my colleagues at Soyang Technologies.”

Speaking about the development he has seen since joining Soyang Europe, he says: “In the 13 years I have been with the company, it is quite something to see how it has gone from strength to strength. The success of the business, I am sure, will continue long into the future.

“I would like to especially thank Mark Mashiter [Soyang Group chief executive officer], who has given me unwavering support throughout my time at Soyang. I would also like to thank all my colleagues at Soyang Europe and Soyang Technologies, as well as the numerous customers that have made this time so special.”

Mark Mashiter adds: “Tim joined Soyang at the very start of our textile journey and has played a pivotal role in shaping our success. His deep textile expertise, commitment, and collaborative spirit have been instrumental in supporting our customers and strengthening our partnership with the Soyang factory.

“Tim’s knowledge and professionalism have left a lasting mark on the business, and he will be greatly missed by colleagues both in the UK and China. Although we are obviously sad to see Tim depart, he leaves with our very best wishes. Tim is tremendously popular, not only within the Soyang team but also with our customers. We very much hope Tim enjoys his much-deserved retirement.”
