Coulson said: “After being a part of the team at TruckEast for 16 years, it’s an honour to be appointed managing director and dealer principal. Together with my team, I’m focused on further driving the success of the business”.

John Biggin, executive chairman, added: “Harley’s extensive leadership skills and business acumen are two significant assets that will help to continue to drive the business forward. I would like to thank him for his continuous commitment and achievements and wish him the utmost success in his new role as MD of TruckEast”.

He added: “With a solid Scania background and excellent customer relations, Carl will be a great addition to our company, and we too wish him the very best of luck with everything”.
