CDE announces Americas promotion

CDE, a United Kingdom-based supplier of sand and aggregate washing systems for the recycling and processing sectors, has named Sarah Corr vice president in the Americas.

Effective in April, the promotion is the latest in a series of recent announcements made as CDE invests in the region, “localizing further, building infrastructure and expanding its team.” Earlier this year, CDE announced the appointment of industry veteran Joe Teague as its new vice president of sales.

Corr has “vast knowledge of the Americas market, consulting across multiple industries with significant time spent in market even before joining CDE where, most recently, she served as its head of marketing," CDE says.

The company adds, “With a keen focus on relationship development and client servicing in previous roles, Sarah knows the importance of customer relations, staying close to customers, and understanding their needs. She joins the senior leadership team alongside Teague and director Darren Eastwood.”

In her new role, Corr will provide input into the strategic direction and growth of CDE in the region as well as leading the in-country sales, operations and aftercare teams at CDE in the Americas. She will identify opportunities for growth and strengthen CDE’s ties with partners, suppliers and representatives in the industry.

Corr also will oversee the development of CDE’s center of excellence in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas, its expanding footprint in the market and its growing team.

“I’m excited to take on this new role for CDE,” Corr says. “This is an industry that’s extremely innovative; one that offers many opportunities. I’d like to shine a light on that for people who may not have considered it before, including women. Our company purpose is to create our best world, a ton at a time, and that’s exactly what I intend to do.”

Darren Eastwood says, “Sarah’s market experience alongside her ability to bring out the best in people is a winning combination. Her insight and understanding of the needs of our business, those of our customers and the needs of the wider industry is invaluable. Sarah’s appointment is another great example of how we continue to build our support for our customers to offer the best possible customer service.”

Joe Teague adds, “Sarah knows the CDE business, has years of experience in the market, and in the short time we’ve been working together it’s clear that she cares deeply about people, our customers and our team. Having Sarah at the helm of the Americas region in an already progressive company sets CDE apart.”

CDE and the wider team will be at ConExpo-Con/Agg 2023 in Las Vegas March 14-18 in the Central Hall.
