HKC strengthens operations with duo of key leadership appointments

Murgelj boasts over 15 years’ experience within the electronics supply chain, having previously held management roles with an international electronics manufacturing business. She was also a consultant to a fast-growing supply chain start-up, helping to grow the business in a very dynamic environment.

Her new role will see Murgelj enhancing procurement and demand planning processes within the HKC supply chain, handling inventory optimisation and strengthening relationships with suppliers.

She will also be working towards a simplified and standardised supply chain management process, while optimising inventory levels and managing costs to ensure ongoing availability of HKC products across the network.

Further, Murgelj will work to bring HKC’s supply chain into line with that of the wider ASSA ABLOY Group strategy.

Technical operations

Ian Moore boasts over 25 years’ experience in the security industry, initially joining HKC in 2009 within the technical support team to assist installers. As HKC’s range and product complexity grew significantly, Moore provided valuable insights and expertise to the R&D team to enhance functionality.

He progressed to become technical support team leader, with his extensive product knowledge and customer support experience eventually leading to him being appointed product manager, whereupon he helped to shape new product ranges. Most recently, Moore supported the development of HKC’s 4G Wi-Fi Communicator, which was launched in February.

As head of technical, Moore will manage HKC’s technical operations, which includes customer support and testing new product developments to ensure they meet both technical specifications and customer needs.

Moore will also be managing communication between other key areas of the business to ensure HKC continues to deliver high-quality and innovative solutions for professional installers.

Growth and success

Speaking about her new appointment, Pille Murgelj said: “I’m very excited to have an opportunity to be a part of HKC’s growth and success as well as use my expertise to contribute towards building HKC’s future. My experience in building and accelerating supply chains in many different environments will be crucial. I’m now looking forward to working with the team here to enhance our supply chain as a whole.”

Ian Moore stated: “I’m thrilled to take on this new challenge and continue driving innovation at HKC. My journey here has been incredibly rewarding. I now look forward to contributing to our future successes and ensuring that we continue to deliver quality products and services for our customers.”
