HEIDELBERG ENGINEERING UK ANNOUNCE RESTRUCTURE TO CAPITALISE ON FUTURE GROWTH

HEIDELBERG, February 19, 2026 — Heidelberg Engineering UK announced changes to their UK team. They welcome back two familiar faces stepping back into their previous roles: 
 
Tosh Vadhia has rejoined the organisation as Managing Director, leading the company in maintaining and expanding its strong ophthalmology presence, and continuing its support of clinicians and researchers in identifying and monitoring ophthalmic conditions with trusted Heidelberg image quality. He will carry out this role in addition to continuing as Head of Global Accounts, building relationships with customers from the pharmaceutical industry. “I’m delighted to return to the UK team at such a pivotal moment for Heidelberg Engineering,” said Tosh Vadhia. “Our commitment to delivering exceptional image quality and supporting clinicians with trusted, innovative solutions has never been stronger. I look forward to working closely with our colleagues, partners and customers as we continue to advance ophthalmic care together.”

Hartmut Becker, Head of Global Sales, said, “Tosh Vadhia has played a key role in helping our global team further expand our pharmaceutical business — a responsibility he will continue to hold. We’re very pleased to see him return to the UK team at such an exciting and transformative time for Heidelberg Engineering and Heidelberg Engineering UK, and I wish him every success in his role.” 

 
 
We thank Grahame Wood for his time with us as General Manager and wish him well in his future endeavours. 

 
 
Tim Cole returns as Head of Clinical Education. Tim excels in offering bespoke training and education, ranging from instructional videos and webinars to in-person sessions. Heidelberg Engineering has always been at the forefront of providing high-quality education, including the annual Heidelberg Engineering UK Masterclass. “Excellence in clinical education shapes the future of patient care. I am proud to lead the education at Heidelberg Engineering UK to advance meaningful, high-quality training,” explained Tim. 
 

Their experience, leadership, and deep understanding of our values and vision will be invaluable as we continue to move forward with focus and confidence. 

In addition to this, Malik Karimu has been promoted to Chief Operating Officer. Malik has played a pivotal role in strengthening the organisation’s legal, compliance, HR and operational foundations, and his strategic insight has been central to the company’s growth in recent years. In his new role, he will oversee the operational functions that support Heidelberg Engineering UK’s continued development and ensure the business remains agile and resilient during this next phase. “I’m honoured to step into the role of Chief Operating Officer at such an important time for Heidelberg Engineering UK,” said Malik Karimu. “We have a strong foundation and a clear vision for the future, and I look forward to supporting our teams as we continue to strengthen our operations and deliver exceptional value to clinicians and patients.” 

This blend of returning leadership and internal progression makes for an incredibly strong and dynamic team.
