Neil Davies has been appointed as the new Commercial Fleet Sales Manager for Continental Tyre Group.

In his new position, Davies will take responsibility for the Sales Team at Bandvulc, supporting the ongoing integration of the Bandvulc brand with Continental Tyres.  The role will include implementing fleet business strategies for both the Conti360° Network and Bandvulc, working closely to support fleet customers, manage key accounts and provide data to ensure fleets can maximise tyre performance.

As Continental and Bandvulc grow closer than ever before, we are confident Neil’s leadership will help to align strategies and objectives that will ultimately meet and exceed customer requirements.”
