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.
