Anri Hegel - Service Sales Consultant

Anri Hegel

As a service sales consultant for dormakaba I reach out to businesses and people all around Perth and WA to grow our contracted customers and the preventative maintenance side of the business. My role allows me to get out and about and meet current and prospective clients and share with them, the wide array of services we offer as a global corporation. Secretly, I like to tell those who ask what I do for a living that I get paid to take people out for coffee 😉

What is it like working for dormakaba?

Working for dormakaba today is very different to when I first started with the company four years ago, we are ever evolving and that’s the exciting part about working for this company, we are progressive. We’re a busy company and you’ll hit the ground running, But we have an incredible network of support to help you reach your full potential.

What motivates you most in your work?

It would most definitely be the people I work with; we are all about supporting each other.

What makes dormakaba special?

What is really special about dormakaba is the positive working relationships you can build with people all across the country. There are people on the other side of the country that I've never met in person but yet I feel very comfortable having a friendly conversation and a laugh with, as if I've known them forever. You learn about each other’s families and histories and if it wasn’t for this company, they are people I would have never even knew existed, so I think that’s pretty special.

Henry Cannon - Engineering Manager - Australia

Australia

I’m currently the Engineering Manager for dormakaba Australia, after initially being a Product & Production Engineer focusing on our IGS range. My role is a mix of providing technical support to different parts of our business – helping sales with special applications or technical queries from customers, helping the factory solve find ways to improve their processes & our being available to assist our product managers with technical challenges related to current or future planned products.

What is it like working for dormakaba?

Thinking about the day-to-day side of the roles I’ve had; “exciting” is not the right word but if I take a step back and think about the bigger events I’ve seen take place over 8 years, “exciting” starts to be a better fit. The Dorma+KABA merger, relocating our head office, new product launches, rebuilding our ERP system & most of all a renewed focus on continuous improvement across the business - Those things add up to a lot of interesting projects and positive changes that have kept me satisfied while working here.

What motivates you most in your work?

The challenge of turning todays problems into solutions – whether it be solving an application issue to support a sale, or helping the production team implement process improvements, there’s always a challenge to be found. A current project in Australia is the development of a Product Testing Centre which will greatly increase the ways in which the small team I manage can support the business.

What makes dormakaba special?

The people I work with and the attitudes that the company fosters are the main thing to mention here. Working together and pushing for the right solutions for our customers where there is both support and high expectations makes it a great environment to work in. Whether it’s finding a way to meet a special one-off demand or planning for big changes, the people here are always ready to help, share their experiences and look for new ways to improve. It’s a good work environment and having had a little to do with people that work for dormakaba in many different parts of the world from what I’ve seen there is a similar sentiment everywhere and knowing that helps make it feel like we are part of the same team.
