Directors

Sarah Clark
Managing Director
After I started working at AFOS I quickly realised what a professional, yet people orientated company it was. Throughout my time at AFOS I have had the opportunity to travel both for client meetings as well as taking part in exhibitions and whilst I love the hot climates that I have visited, I have to say that my favourite place so far has been the Isle of Man – a beautiful and friendly island!
My understanding and knowledge of the business has grown in both sectors.
Whilst previously working in large corporate companies, the change to now being involved in a smaller company has been refreshing but equally rewarding and this is down to a strong, supportive and dedicated staff team who have a passion backed up with an excellent work ethic.

Mark White
Projects and Sales Director
AFOS has offered me opportunities that I will be forever grateful for. Through my time at AFOS I have travelled around the world, both on my tools as an Engineer and now in my role as Director. In addition to this I also have the pleasure of working with a dynamic and enthusiastic team whos insight into the work that we do will ensure we remain leaders within our fields.

Lisa Featherstone
Finance Director

Debbie McNally
Medical Sales Director
Since the beginning of my career at AFOS in the Service department, I have progressed in the business and now, as a Director I have a great feeling of self-achievement, from a single mum not having two pennies to rub together and now part owning a business!
I work alongside a great team of Directors and we continue to strive as a business and look to grow continually.
Positive attitudes, great employees, teamwork and our passion for what we do, all helps to face challenges and enjoy working together as a team.

Now in a leadership role within the Servicing department, I enjoy the challenge of managing a fast-paced environment and working with a dedicated team committed to delivering top-quality maintenance and after-sales care. My passion lies in providing excellent customer service, and it’s incredibly rewarding to be part of a business that shares that same core value – ensuring every client feels valued, supported, and well looked after.

I came into this role directly from University and the ‘on tap’ support that I have and continue to receive has made this transition smoother and much more manageable. I have been given the opportunity to run my own projects from start to finish and the environment that I work in supports the quote that ‘there is not such thing as a silly question’ and this has increased my confidence 10 fold and I relish the opportunities in front of me.
