  Hannah Phoenix

  Marketing Manager

  With over a decade of experience in the brand and design world, Hannah brings plenty of creative know-how, a keen eye for detail and a healthy obsession with making things look good at MachineTech. Construction, however, is a whole new world for her. Luckily, she comes from a farming background, so she’s no stranger to big machinery - she can drive a combine harvester. A digger? Not quite yet… but give her time. For all things marketing, branding and design, Hannah’s your person. Just don’t ask her to operate the excavator.

She loves meeting new people, building relationships and, most importantly, doing what she does best… talking to absolutely everyone!
