It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Alan Parrott after a short illness. Alan has been instrumental in the success of Amada as a whole, his influence, guidance and drive have made the company what it is today, not only in the UK but across Europe and Japan.

Alan’s 40-year service to Amada culminated in him becoming the CEO of Europe and Director of many European Companies, his vital input to all of his teams along with his support and professionalism will be greatly missed. Our thoughts of course are with his family and friends at this very sad time.
