Maximilian Weihe  |  Managing Director

Selecta Systems have long been known for being independently and family owned, speaking frequently of the Selecta ‘family’ and the promotion of the #bepartofthefamily message. Selecta are now in the third generation of Weihe leadership, with Maximilian Weihe at the helm.

Appointed Managing Director in 2017, and following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather was a proud moment for Max. "Being able to continue the family connection, whilst maintaining stability and solidarity within the business was of paramount importance in following on the Weihe legacy at Selecta. Hence, why we are here 40 years later, which is a great testament to those before me and the longstanding and established team that we have here at Selecta."

"There has always been a strong family feel and connection within Selecta, not only from my family’s direction, but also from those people, who’ve played an integral part within the business over the last 40 years. This is also extended to our customers of whom the majority, like ourselves, are family run or have similar close connections. That’s why, for me, and Selecta, we have been able to engage, work with and build strong relationships with people and businesses over the years. Creating that one big family."

In Memory of DAVE NELSON

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER

In Memory of Dave Nelson
------------------------------------------
It is with great sadness that Selecta Systems announce the passing of our dear friend and colleague Dave Nelson. After a long and inspirational battle with illness, Dave passed away peacefully on Wednesday 28th February 2024 with his beloved family at his side.
Dave joined Selecta in February 2016 as a Business Development Manager, or “number one sales rep” as Dave would often refer to himself. It was this kind of humour that saw Dave quickly became a likeable and valuable member of the Selecta family, building up an excellent rapport with staff, customers and industry colleagues.
He had already built up an excellent relationship with a number of our team prior to his employment having been a longstanding employee of one of our customers, Goldstar Trade Frames. With his employment at Selecta, Dave brought a wealth of fabrication and industry experience, complimented with his infectious personality and humour.
Sales Director Andy Green and General Manager Bob Heeley, often referred to by Dave as his “work dad”, led the tributes to the popular Business Development Manager. “We are deeply shocked and saddened by the passing of our dear friend and colleague. His friendly and approachable personality made him a very popular figure with all who met him.”
“We have not just lost an experienced and valuable member of our team, but also a friend and integral part of our Selecta family. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with his wife Sarah and children, Tyler and Demi at this extremely difficult time. We also extend our thoughts to family, friends and all who had the pleasure of meeting Dave. He will be greatly missed, but fondly remembered by all.”
