He commented: “Having been closely associated with TecDoc pretty much since its introduction into the UK and Irish markets. Having such an in-depth knowledge of the product also helps me in my sales role and I’m delighted that the number of customers using our varied services continues to increase annually, across the whole of the UK and Ireland.” Shaun Greasley Regional Sales Director CEE, GB/IE; General Manager TecAlliance UK added: “From the very start, Jason has been a great addition to the TecDoc team.
