Industrial area manager promotion at Mattei

10 June, 2020

Born in Southwark, South East London in 1966, Lodge moved to Ashford in Kent in 1976. His career began as an on-site construction plant fitter for Hewden Stuart and this is where he cut his teeth in the compressor world, working mainly on mobile compressors. During this period, Lodge also attended South Kent College and achieved City and Guilds Distinction in Mechanical Engineering.

Lodge joined Mattei Compressors in March 2000 as a compressor service engineer. He progressed to a sales/service engineer position and in 2015 moved to a full-time sales role. Lodge’s latest promotion as area manager for the industrial side of the Mattei business includes a variety of responsibilities, as he explains: “Of course, the development of new sales opportunities for Mattei is key, but it also includes training service engineers from our distributor network on Mattei products on subjects such as trouble shooting, technical issues and correct servicing – as well as training and supporting their sales teams on how to sell the Mattei products.”

Lodge concludes: “Mattei is an incredible company that truly cares about the environment and energy efficiency. Being part of the Mattei team and working for the Contaldi family has given me so many opportunities and taught me so much. I am very proud to be part of Mattei and love the challenge.”
