Lee Hulme<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The move marks a continued focus by Michelin on its popular dealer programmes, which now include 374 accredited locations throughout the UK and Ireland. Previously, its dealer programmes were co-ordinated by separate departments internally.<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old brings nearly 20 years of experience with Michelin to the role, having joined the company in April 2001. His career has included more than five years as sales account manager between 2010 and 2015, working with some of Michelin\u2019s largest regional transport customers. He then joined the head office-based procurement team, initially as an industrial services buyer for two years, before being promoted to purchasing manager at the beginning of 2017.<\/p>\n

Commenting, Hulme says: \u201cThe calibre of our dealer partners is incredibly high; they have each been hand-picked to represent Michelin and are amongst the best tyre specialists in the industry. My goal is to continue driving the programmes forward, ensuring our partners feel closely aligned to Michelin and have the support they need from us to continue providing the best possible customer experience.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
