Trucksmith has appointed Martin Hargreaves as territory field sales executive for its south west field sales team based at its Devon headquarters.

The van converter has seen double-digit revenue growth in the past 12 months and the role will broaden the capabilities of its developing sales team.

Hargreaves was formerly in sales management at retailer Carphone Warehouse, running stores in locations such as Exeter and Barnstaple.

He said: “My experience in building and managing customer relationships will come to the fore in this role, since Trucksmith has the ability to tailor van conversions to any number of customer uses – from bread vans and delivery vehicles to showrooms and mobile libraries.

“I’ll be focusing on maintaining an unbeatable support network for our wide-ranging customers, including the Renault, Vauxhall and Fiat dealerships where our vehicles are available.”

Daniel Trebble, managing director at Trucksmith, said: “This is an exciting period for Trucksmith, with several new product launches this year, and Martin’s skills will be hugely valuable.”
