Published: 2nd April 2019 11:43

JEAN Spearpoint from South Somerset has recently (March, 2019) been appointed as General Manager at an industrial textile sewing company in the area.

She will be responsible for procurement, production and delivery at Needles & Pins UK Ltd at Somerton Business Park, which specialises in Ground Support Equipment for the global aviation industry.

The 59-year-old, who is originally from Sunderland and has worked in the textile industry since 1977, said: "I am overjoyed to have been appointed as General Manager and am really embracing my new role. It's great to be working with a friendly, close-knit team and I am looking forward to the many challenges I know the new position will bring."

Jean previously worked at Ramp Aerospace & Defence Systems (RADS) Ltd since 2008 and led its sewing room before the sewing division of the business was acquired by Needles & Pins UK Ltd.

She has been sewing since she found her mother's sewing machine under the stairs as a child and has previously worked in the industry within the automotive trade in a supervisory role before going on to join RADS and then Needles & Pins UK Ltd.

In her spare time Jean, who is a mother-of-two, enjoys quilting and bag making.

Needles & Pins UK Ltd is an expert, ISO 9001:2015 UKAS certified, industrial textile sewing company specialising in Ground Support Equipment for the global aviation industry.

It produces covers for everything from large aircraft to helicopters, light aircraft, cars, bicycles, motorbikes, sea/canal boats, garden furniture, tooling and industrial equipment, music speakers and instruments and more.

Carole Champion, Director of Needles & Pins UK Ltd, said: "Jean has great experience and will bring her expertise to the different aspects of this role. We have no doubt with the support of the team she will rise to her new challenge of General Manager admirably."

The team at Needles & Pins UK Ltd collectively has more than 40 years combined experience in industrial textile sewing. It is currently investing in the latest technology with laser 3D scanning, but still also uses traditional methods and all its products are handmade by its talented in-house seamstresses.

Carole added: "We hold patterns and make covers for all manner of helicopters, aircraft and aviation equipment, and can also produce no end of others and are specialists in all cover types.

"Our long-lasting, tight-fitting products can be found protecting vehicles, equipment, machinery and even garden furniture. We're now looking forward to the future and moving the business on to the next level."
