A New Chapter for FORTEC UK and FORTEC US
We’re pleased to share an important leadership update for FORTEC UK.
After leading the FORTEC UK sales team and helping to strengthen and develop the business, Paul Hooper has taken on a new role as Managing Director and Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) of FORTEC US.
With more than 30 years of experience in the international electronics industry, Paul will now bring his extensive sales, leadership and market knowledge to North America, supporting the continued growth and development of FORTEC US.
We would like to thank Paul for his contribution to FORTEC UK and wish him every success in this exciting next chapter.
From 8 September 2026, Rhett Evans will succeed Paul at FORTEC UK.
Rhett brings more than 25 years of electronics industry experience, combining a technical background in electronic engineering with extensive sales and management experience. His expertise spans embedded computing, display technologies and customised system solutions, areas that sit right at the heart of what we do at FORTEC UK.
These appointments form part of wider developments across the FORTEC Group, with new leadership appointments also taking place at FORTEC CZ and FORTEC Integrated. The changes strengthen regional management and give our businesses greater scope to respond to their individual markets, while continuing to benefit from the expertise and capabilities of the wider international Group.
We’re delighted to welcome Rhett and look forward to working with him as we continue to develop FORTEC UK, strengthen our technical offering and support engineers, OEMs and integrators across our key markets.
Commenting on the changes, Andrew Ferrier said:
"I want to congratulate Paul Hooper on his transfer to FORTEC USA. Over the past seven years, Paul has been an invaluable part of our team, and his dedication, expertise, and support have played a significant role in our success. While we will miss having him here in the UK, we're excited to see him take on this new challenge and know he'll be a fantastic asset to the FORTEC USA organisation.
I'd also like to welcome Rhett Evans to the leadership team as we move forward, and I'm looking forward to working closely with him to continue driving FORTEC UK's growth and success. It's an exciting new chapter for the business, and I'm confident we have the right team in place to keep building on everything we've achieved."
Congratulations to Paul and a very warm welcome to Rhett. Here’s to the next chapter for FORTEC UK and continued growth across the FORTEC Group.
