Our Staff

Carole Hickton - Financial Director
Started Flair with Bill Hickton in 1972. Heads a team of 16 staff and in charge of the day to day running of the company.

Since starting Flair we have seen many changes within the industry and we have gone from strength to strength and embraced the challenges along the way. 

We feel we now have the right staff in place to go forward into the 21st Century as we have laid solid foundations to build for the future.

Paul Hickton - Sales & Marketing Director
Joined Flair in May 1995. Manages both internal and external sales engineers and responsible for all Marketing within the company.

Whilst price is important to our customers, service is becoming more and more high profile within our industry and this is where I feel Flair Electronics are different from the rest. I believe we have the staff with the knowledge and high level of customer service to take Flair to the next level. Every customer is important to us and we want to grow with them and form a long and lasting partnership

Having over 20 years experience in electro/mechanical engineering and having spent the last 15 years in manufacturing, previous posts have seen me working in both Europe and the United States in various roles. Instrumental in the creation and day to day running of a robotic equipment manufacturing cell for one of the Vitec group companies before starting at Flair in the summer of 2007. Reviewing Flairs processes and procedures from Purchasing and flow of Materials to lean manufacturing techniques, I believe has allowed Flair to continue to offer the same personal service they have built their 30 year reputation on whilst being competitive in what is a tough market.
