Sukh Rayat, the personable general manager of SEI Macro's components distribution arm Flashpoint, has been promoted to managing director of the unit.

He will also look after the company's future strategies. He said: "Flashpoint is experiencing tremendous growth thanks in part to key franchise lines such as Cyrix, ATI and AMD."

Rayat has appointed Raj Suman as the distribution sales manager, while James Norris is now international trading sales manager. James Monjack will be business development manager. ®
