Carl Kammerling International, a leading supplier in hand tools, tools storage, power tool accessories and security solutions, has announced the appointment of Mark Raines as Head of Marketing.

Mark joins CKI from Bosch Power Tool Accessories where he worked as a Head of Product Management at their Headquarters in Switzerland, with responsibility for one of the product management teams.

Mark’s background speaks for itself.  He began his career in sales in 2006, selling industrial consumables. Mark then moved into marketing at the beginning of 2012, for the same company who were owned by Bosch Power Tools.  This led to the opportunity to join Bosch Power Tool Accessories in Switzerland in 2014.

Mark’s wide-ranging experience in product management, project management and knowledge of the full marketing mix, will prove invaluable in his new role as Head of Marketing at CKI.  Mark comments: “I am very much looking forward to being part of the exciting growth plans at CKI and helping to shape that future.  In addition to supporting the development of the new marketing team and pushing what we do to the next level, I am keen to learn what our end users need and how we can deliver the best value for them in our future product and range developments.”
