Continental has announced the formal appointment of Tom Godwin as national sales manager for earthmover, multi-purpose tyres (MPT) and military across the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n

Godwin has recently joined this area of the business, bringing significant experience from his previous role working within Continental\u2019s UK and Ireland agricultural tyres segment. This move is supported by the company\u2019s expectation that long-term opportunities exist within commercial specialty tyres, in both the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n

Godwin\u2019s strategic focus and market expertise have already begun to transfer into the new role, where he is now responsible for defining and executing Continental\u2019s national sales strategy, strengthening key customer partnerships and driving growth across these key sector portfolios.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the appointment, Godwin said: \u201cThe highly specialised earthmover segment presents a significant opportunity for Continental, and I look forward to building on the solid foundations already in place and working closely with our customers to support the expansion of our portfolio and end\u2011user base.<\/p>\n

“Our MPT segment benefits from decades of proven performance within the premium sector, with a reputation for durability, versatility and innovation across demanding on- and off-road applications. Combined with Continental\u2019s continued advancements in technology and product development, we are well positioned to deliver industry-leading solutions to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Continental said Godwin\u2019s recent appointment reflects its ongoing commitment to investing in its people and strengthening its position within critical and highly specialist tyre segments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
