Hobart’s Chris Mansell calls time on 30 year career

Dubbed ‘Mr Warewash’ by colleagues and peers, in tribute to his in-depth knowledge of Hobart’s product lines and wide-ranging expertise in the discipline, he now hands the torch to Hobart technical sales executive Jeff Priest.

A specialist in sales and product training, Mansell moved into warewashing equipment sales in 1993 with Warner Howard, before spending 15 years heading up his own business ATG Catering and Hygiene Supplies.

He joined the ranks at Hobart in 2013 quickly cementing a reputation as the ‘go-to’ for warewashing innovation, technical knowledge and project management.

Ceri Williams, head of marketing, insights and product management, said: “Chris retires leaving a legacy of innovation and dedication to in-depth product knowledge. Not only a true professional but one of the industry’s nice guys – someone who was always willing to give time and energy to helping and supporting others – not just end customers and dealers but colleagues as well – we shall miss him dearly.”
