Cheryl Watson takes over the position of managing director at KEC, the Aldermaston-based EMC specialist, on April 17th when founding managing director, David Dyson, becomes chairman. 

Since joining Kern Electrical Components in 1980 Cheryl Watson has served in a number of capacities including PA, sales and office manager.  She was appointed as administration director when KEC became a totally British owned, independent company in 1991.

David Dyson said of his successor: “Cheryl has long experience in all aspects of KEC business and over the past few years we have worked together on expanding the scope of the company from an EMC component manufacturer to one that is involved in the design and implementation of total EMC interconnect solutions.”

Cheryl Watson said of her appointment: “I am looking forward to the new challenge.  I have been closely involved in recent projects such as the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) between KEC and the University of Reading that will establish at KEC an EMC interconnect design and test facility based on computer simulated EMC test techniques.  By following these and similar initiatives we plan to strengthen our position as a total EMC interconnect solution company.”
