David Robinson
David is MD of Bathgate Silica Sand. With over 42 years at the company his knowledge and vision has guided the organisation to the strong position it is in now. As a leader in the sand and aggregate industry, David’s goal is to see the company invest in strategies and initiatives in next few years to increase production in a sustainable and eco-friendly manner ensuring we remain at the vanguard of providing quality products, superb value and excellent customer service.
Colin Sanders
With over 20 years at the company, Bathgate is in Colin’s blood. From joining the business as a leisure sales coordinator, he worked his way up through the ranks to being appointed Commercial Director in 2016.
Ensuring the business is at the forefront of the industry in developments, products and service is his constant priority so we can ensure we’re always meeting the needs of our customers and putting them at the centre of everything we do. However, he thinks it’s important to keep it real and still enjoys meeting clients on a regular basis, especially if it’s on a golf course.
Mark Meehan
Mark has learned all about sand, our processes and customer requirements from the ground up, having spent the last few years in several departments of our manufacturing side before moving over to sales. Before coming to Bathgate, Mark spent a number of years in the Greater Manchester Police and brings a wealth of transferrable skills and experience from that time to his current role.
Also an avid rugby player and supporter, he’s keen to tackle any enquiries his customers want to throw at him.
Jon Price
Having worked in various areas of a foundry business since the age of sixteen, Jon practically has sand and molten metal flowing through his veins and brings with him a wealth of knowledge of the foundry industry.
He has worked as a sales director for his family company servicing the trade for the past twelve years and is following in his father’s footsteps as he also worked for Bathgate in the sales department some time ago.
With all this industry knowledge, you can ‘test his metal’ anytime if you have a sand or foundry query.
Joe Robinson
Having worked at Bathgate for over seven years, the last six in sales, Joe is a mine of information and product knowledge for all things sand. He is the go-to guy for any unusual requests. Joe is happy on the phone taking orders or dealing with production or transport issues, and will always go the extra mile to help out. Plus, he can make you a mean cuppa if you need to call in for a visit.
Louise Nolan
Although a relative newcomer to the sand industry, Louise is no newcomer when it comes to providing top-notch customer service. Responsible for both managing new enquiries and keeping existing customers happy, Louise enjoys the various aspects of the role and her fresh eyes bring a new perspective to our industry and the company.
Louise says working with Bathgate’s supportive team means she can always find the solutions or information she needs for her clients.
Shamir Salemohamed
Shamir has been at Bathgate for ten years and his extensive knowledge of the industry and our customers means he keeps our finances flowing as smoothly as the sand.
Although keen to keep a tight rein on all our money matters, he is also customer-focused and will try to ensure mutually compatible terms are in place whenever possible. He’s the guy you need if you want to discuss the financial side of your account or make a payment.
