Jon Whitehouse

Director, Industrial MRO and Safety

Having started in the Electrical industry in 1995 my early career developed holding a variety of roles from technical support through to business development with two local Control and Automation companies. These companies represented the biggest names within the industry, Schneider, ABB, Mitsubishi and Rockwell Automation to name a few. It was during this time that I built up a wealth of knowledge and experience specifying products and helping clients find the right solutions for their operations.

I joined ERIKS in 2007 as part of the team which set up the Electrical Centre where the main focus was supply chain development and delivering cost reduction benefits to clients. Since those early days we have developed the ERIKS Electrical Technology Centre into a credible and comprehensive offering for our clients supported by many of the UK’s major manufacturers.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time in the outdoors with my wife and young family, mountain biking and mountain walking.
