Survival gear manufacturer Wescom Group this week announced that it appointed David Mossman head of sales. Mossman has 20 years of sales experience, most recently at Marlow Ropes, where he worked for eight years.

“Joining Wescom Group is a huge privilege,” Mossman said in a statement. “I am passionate about the importance of safety products and look forward to working with the team to further develop the sMRT and Eflare brands, including the sMRT ALERT and sMRT V300 Class M-compliant, man-overboard devices.”

Mossman’s responsibilities include developing international sales by working with Wescom’s network of distributors. His electronics technology focus will be working on Wescom Group’s Eflare range of hazard safety lights and sMRT distress beacons.
