Five years ago, he joined Mahle as regional manager of Car & Light Commercial, where he flourished in his role, gaining several plaudits including Victor Reinz Salesman of the Year and Mahle Salesman of the Year, before being promoted to head of sales for UK for workshop equipment, selling more air conditioning units than any Mahle entity.

Jonathan Walker, managing director of Mahle Aftermarket UK Ltd, said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome such a seasoned professional as Richard to our team, especially someone who is already so well-versed in Mahle’s culture, technical capabilities and wide customer base.

“His drive, enthusiasm and breadth of experience speak for themselves and we’re positive that his appointment will have a beneficial impact on the company here in the UK.”
