Tim Egerton, who has worked as Sales Manager at Soyang Europe for more than 13 years, will retire on 11 December.
Soyang Europe has announced that Sales Manager Tim Egerton is to retire, with his final day at the company being December 11, 2025.
A much-loved member of the Soyang team, Tim has worked as Sales Manager since joining the company back in June 2012. During this time, Tim has played an integral role in the business’s evolution into a leading provider of high-quality media and hardware solutions.
Earlier this year, Tim was given the tough diagnosis of onset Parkinson’s and was advised by doctors to take time for himself and his family. However, never to be deterred, Tim soon took the opportunity to participate in ‘Ride the Trossachs’, a cycle event across the stunning Scottish Highlands, raising valuable funds for charity in the process.
Looking ahead to his retirement, Tim plans to take part in another cycling event next year, again in Scotland, as well as enjoy some much-earned rest and relaxation.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working at Soyang Europe,” Tim said. “I never imagined I would visit Soyang Technologies in China in the first year with the company. It was fascinating not only to see first-hand the manufacturing processes but also to meet my colleagues at Soyang Technologies.
“In the 13 years I have been with the company, it is quite something to see how it has gone from strength-to-strength. The success of the business, I am sure, will continue long into the future.”
Tim continued, “I would like to especially thank [Soyang Group CEO] Mark Mashiter, who has given me unwavering support throughout my time at Soyang. I would also like to thank all my colleagues at Soyang Europe and Soyang Technologies, as well as the numerous customers that have made this time so special.”
Mark Mashiter added, “Tim joined Soyang at the very start of our textile journey and has played a pivotal role in shaping our success. His deep textile expertise, commitment, and collaborative spirit have been instrumental in supporting our customers and strengthening our partnership with the Soyang factory.”
“Tim’s knowledge and professionalism have left a lasting mark on the business, and he will be greatly missed by colleagues both in the UK and China.” Mark said. “Although we are obviously sad to see Tim depart, he leaves with our very best wishes. Tim is tremendously popular not only within the Soyang team but also with our customers. We very much hope Tim enjoys his much-deserved retirement!”
