Countrywide Appoints Two New Regional Sales Managers
Countrywide Vehicle Management has strengthened its sales team with the appointment of two new regional sales managers - Neil Pagnam for the North and Craig Best for the Midlands. They report to Countrywide sales manager, Joe Howick.
Leasedrive Group commercial director, Roddy Graham, said: "Historically, Countrywide's customer base has been predominantly along the M4 corridor and concentrated in the South East of England. We wish to extend our expertise for delivering added value to both our suppliers and customers across the UK. These two new sales appointments are the first of several to ensure we have good sales representation countrywide!"
Neil Pagnam, aged 32, joins Countrywide from Dent Wizard (UK) Limited, where he was regional manager. Before joining the world leader in paintless dent repair, he spent four years as business development manager with the Threeways Garage group. His other sales experience was acquired with Messenger Group Newspapers and Rumbelows.
Craig Best, aged 29, was previously business development manager with PC networking company, faIT UK. He also worked for nearly two years as sales manager for Cartrux Rentals, part of Northgate plc. He held a similar position at Mercedes-Benz specialists, the Stillman Group, where he was employed for four years. He entered sales with electrical retailers, Comet.
