Schaeffler has recently expanded its sales team by welcoming two new Territory Managers, one covering the North of England and Scotland, and the other taking responsibilities for the South East of England.
Kieran Smith, based in Sunderland, has taken on the role of Territory Manager for Scotland and the North of England, after spending the last three years as a branch manager with Motor Parts Direct. Expressing his enthusiasm, Kieran said: “I’m eager to share the latest innovations offered by Schaeffler with its clients in the north, whilst keeping them informed about advances in the products and services we offer.”
Meanwhile, Terri-Louise Ballard, hailing from Portsmouth, is now serving as Territory Manager in the South of England. Terri-Louise started her career as a parts apprentice at GSF Car Parts and has since gained valuable experience in the franchised dealer sector.
Terri-Louise said: “My decision to join Schaeffler was influenced by the company’s well-established reputation for delivering genuine OE quality products and services to independent workshops through its customer base. I am also excited to be joining a team that shares my values, such as a commitment to excellence.”
Matthew Selby, Sales & Marketing Director at Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket (UK) Ltd, stressed the importance of recruiting staff with proven experience, particularly in understanding the automotive aftermarket sector. He said: “I’m delighted to welcome both Kieran and Terri to the team, I’m sure they will both prove to be valuable assets within our already strong UK sales team.”
