New man at the top for Blackpool voice-activated technology specialist

After three years as sales director, Matt Gregory has succeeded Isabel McCabe as managing director at the firm which employs 150 and is based at the Whitehills estate.

The announcement comes as McCabe has decided to step down and spend more time with her family in her hometown of Glasgow, having completed over eight years at the helm of Voiteq UK.

She said: “Matt has a long history with Voiteq and has already won the hearts and minds of the team.

“He was the obvious choice to steer Voiteq into what is an exciting future.”

Since joining Voiteq in October 2017, Matt has been visiting customer sites, attending industry events and making panellist appearances for innovative roundtables.

He even hosted the biggest Voice User Group worldwide.

Matt has worked in the industry since 2006 and has built a wealth of experience, depth of knowledge and passion for smart warehouse technology.

He understands first-hand how modern supply chain technology can truly transform a business.

Matt Gregory, said: “Voiteq was the first to introduce voice-directed work into UK warehouses, and for the past 20 years our expertise, knowledge and technology suite has evolved - just like the industry.

“I am fully aware of the incredible legacy I’ve inherited, which I will work tirelessly to protect and evolve in the next chapter of our journey.

“Voiteq is now the trusted team within Körber Supply Chain that specialises in voice, vision, mobility and robotics for the supply chain: pairing the right technologies, with the right solution, at the right time.”

Looking towards the future, Matt added: “Our customers already know that regardless of innovations in technology, Voiteq has always been about the people and this will not change.

“We will continue to develop and recruit the best and the brightest talent our industry has to offer, in order to deliver that same exceptional customer experience.”
