Commercial vehicle safety and camera firm Sentinel Systems has appointed an experienced sales manager to exclusively support the Scottish market.

The Cirencester-based company has appointed Marshall Fleming as sales manager for Scotland and the North East in response to the increase in demand for vehicle and pedestrian protection in the north of the UK. Marshall will be responsible for all company sales and service activity within the area and will be permanently based in the region.

David Paulson, managing director of Sentinel said: “We are very pleased to have Marshall join our company as he brings with him over 30 years’ experience working in sectors such as vehicle and RCV manufacturing and sales and service to both municipal and private sector customers. As we are based in the South West of the UK it can be very difficult to handle customer needs in Scotland and the North. For this reason we felt it was vital that we had a permanent presence in the area to ensure that customers receive a highly efficient service.”

Commenting on his new position, Fleming said: “I am excited to be joining a market leading company like Sentinel. Their safety and innovative camera products are of a high standard in both quality and reliability, backed up with a first class service and installation team and I look forward to being part of a team that develops and produces equipment that can save people’s lives.”

Fleming joined Sentinel after 14 years at Faun Zoeller, a leading manufacturer of refuse vehicles, where he held various positions ranging from UK sales Manager to UK sales director. He brings with him an extensive knowledge of the market and an understanding of the value of customer service to Sentinel which will assist the ongoing growth of the company.
