Purpose-designed glass-carrying vehicle body and racking system manufacturer Supertrucks has appointed its first business development manager as part of its growth plans.

Mike Nicholson takes up his new position at Merseyside-based Supertrucks having spent the last 12 years working as a group transport manager for furniture group Steinhoff UK.

“I was ready for a change and am hugely excited about this opportunity,” said Nicholson. “Glass is a fragile product so specialised vehicles, built to do the job, are needed to transport it securely.

“We have a fantastic production team at Supertrucks and our bodies and racks have long led the market in terms of their quality and fitness for purpose. But the company has sometimes fallen short when it comes to presenting itself – and that’s where I come in.

“I’m now looking forward to getting out and about, communicating and building relationships with operators, and thereby unlocking Supertrucks’ huge potential for growth.”
