DINNINGTON, SOUTH YORKSHIRE – AME Group Ltd, trading under the brand name AME-3D, is pleased to announce the appointment of Jamie Corden as its new Sales & Marketing Director. Jamie joins the business from a senior sales leadership role at top European competitor, Materialise, where he led a UK-wide team delivering 3D printing solutions across a broad range of sectors.
In his new position, Jamie will lead AME-3D’s sales and marketing function, working closely with the board to shape commercial strategy and support the company’s ambitious growth plans.
This marks another significant step forward since their equity investment in 2021 which fuelled the acquisition of cutting-edge 3D printing equipment, and strengthened their design and prototyping services and expansions into new markets.
Ian Jones, Founder of AME Group Ltd, said:
“We’re delighted to welcome Jamie to the team. His experience in advanced 3D printing, along with a strong commercial track record and passion for customer service, makes him a perfect fit for AME-3D. Jamie’s appointment reflects our continued investment in talent and technology to deliver the very best for our clients. JW Markets did a great job putting us in touch with Jamie.”
