Key account manager responsible for Fire and Rescue, Municipal and bodybuilder Programme vehicles

After working for IVECO Defence Vehicles on a contract basis, I join the comapny in the UK as a Sales Manager working for Defence Vehicles. The customers I interact with procure a wide and diverse range of both military protected, soft-skin and commercial white-fleet platforms, and my role covers every level of business and sales development, from new contacts through to aspects of marketing, and including sales/bid creation on opportunities ranging from single vehicle sales, through to small fleets. IVECO is a global manufacturer and key market player, and I regularly support the company and seek support through various locations throughout Europe and extra Europe, undertaking travel where needed. In addition to this, I can be tasked to perform and accept responsibility for key specific sales and marketing activities on an ad hock basis for the company at a senior level. The most recent example involved me travelling to Australia to conduct a market and business analysis study for Defence Vehicles business. Alongside my Sales responsibilities, I manage projects and individual vehicle builds as the majority of defence vehicles delivered to the customer are completed systems, with bodies and ancillary sub-systems, ranging from commercial vehicles through to bespoke military products. examples of this would be a small fleet of armoured Self Loading Dump Trucks for UK MoD, procured as a urgent operational requirement and the ALC C Vehicle PFI for 160+ units. http://www.thinkdefence.co.uk/2012/07/british-army-c-vehicles
