Gordon Smith was the managing director at WAGO Limited when it was formed 25 years ago. In June 2014, he was succeeded by Tony Hoyle, previously with ABB. ‘Gordon’s legacy is certainly an impressive one,’ says Tony. ‘He has created a successful and vibrant company. The rest of the team and I are now committed to developing and implementing new plans for the future which will take the company to the next level.’
