Power management company Eaton has announced an expansion to its senior leadership team in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) with two new appointments. Mark Anning has been appointed general manager, Circuit Protection and Control (CPC) and Kevin Nesdale has been appointed general manager, Power Distribution Systems and Services (PDSS).
