Benjamin Clayton has joined the business as regional sales manager for the South, bringing 11 years’ experience in the automotive industry, including roles at Marshall Fleet Solutions and Asset Alliance Group.
Philip Keenan joins as regional sales manager for Ireland, following more than 10 years’ experience working for some of the country’s leading haulage and logistics companies, including Dixon Transport and DG McArdle International.
Smith said: “With the increase in production capacity at our Manchester plant and the diversity of the Schmitz Cargobull portfolio, we are able to offer customer-tailored solutions for their transport operations.”
The team will also support customers with the entire Schmitz Cargobull portfolio including the S.KO Cool, M.KI tippers and skeletal trailers.
