Industry jobs: Roles filled at ATS Euromaster, Be.EV and DeGould

ATS Euromaster strengthens sales team

ATS Euromaster has named Craig Archibald as its new business development manager and John Hall as territory account manager for the north of England.

The appointments are part of a restructure of the company’s sales team to support growth in demand for its services within the B2B sector post-pandemic as well as its own growth ambitions for the tyre and service, maintenance and repair (SMR) operation.

Dan Hickman, currently territory sales manager, has also been promoted to national sales manager, effective from July 1, with a team of territory account managers reporting into him.

The managerial restructuring comes as the tyre and maintenance provider comes out of the pandemic and looks to increase business nationally and regionally, especially within the B2B market targeting fleets with 30+ vehicles as well as smaller fleets via its National Business Club offering.

Archibald, the newly appointed business development manager for corporate sales, has undertaken similar roles at companies including Autoserve, Manheim, Wincanton Fleet Services and GE Capital Fleet Services.

Hall, the newly appointed north of England territory manager, has previously worked with companies such as Mascus, Salesfire and Sandhills Publishing.

Jason Chamberlain, who was appointed sales director at ATS Euromaster in January, said: “These are significant appointments, and I am pleased to welcome John and Craig to the team.

“Their extensive background in their respective fields will help drive our vision for regional and national tyre and SMR business growth, helping us to continue delivering value and support to our existing customers while also winning the hearts and minds of new ones.”

He continued: “Dan Hickman has done an amazing job as territory sales manager and his promotion is not just a reward for his achievements, but crucially will drive further growth as well as deliver outstanding customer services to existing ATS Euromaster customers while contributing to finding more efficient ways of service delivery.

“We are committed to launching new services and enriching our current offer over the next 12 months for our B2B partners, SME fleets and Business Club customers.”
