ATE Solutions welcomes new Managing Director Dean Kavanagh

With over 25 years of experience, Dean is recognised for his achievements in global exports and has received the prestigious Institute of Directors' West Midlands Director of the Year award twice for his outstanding contributions to industry.

Reflecting on his new role, Dean expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "I'm delighted to be joining A.T.E. as their new Managing Director. I have some big shoes to fill, but the attractiveness of A.T.E. as a market-leading Test Equipment Solutions provider, alongside the growth potential that the business wants to fulfil, was too great to resist."

Steve is migrating to a Technical Director role that will allow him to focus on key projects and ongoing R&D activities. Dean Kavanagh has a strong background in driving business improvement through the application of "Lean" philosophies and challenging long-held assumptions. His leadership style is characterised by excellent communication, emotional intelligence, and an authentic approach that instils confidence and self-belief in his teams.

Prior to joining A.T.E. Solutions, Dean served as the Managing Director at QED Environmental Systems, a market-leading provider of environmental technology solutions. But, his commitment to business excellence extends beyond his professional roles, as he volunteers as a Non-Executive Director for a Multi Academy Trust of eight schools in Coventry.
