Aldercote, the pioneering UK manufacturer of vehicle-mounted access platforms, has appointed a new sales executive to meet demand for the company’s innovative products, which are supplied to firms across the UK and Europe.
Mark Tooley joins the team with almost a decade’s experience in the industry and will be working with current and prospective customers to help make them aware of Aldercote’s range of products and the expert engineering and diagnostic support services it offers. His previous role was with Access Hire, one of the largest hire companies in the sector.
Aldercote’s commitment to innovation
Mark said: “I’m looking forward to this new challenge in the industry I’ve gained a lifetime of experience in! I’m already enjoying engaging with customers and explaining how Aldercote’s commitment to engineering and innovation can help them find solutions for their platform needs."
“I’ve had a really positive experience with the wider Aldercote team and it’s fantastic how we’re all working towards the company’s shared goals.”
Aldercote’s VZ135e E-transit
The firm launched its first platform designed especially for fully electric vehicles at the end of last year
Established in Hull in 1999, Aldercote’s platforms are used by some of the UK and Ireland’s biggest utilities firms – including Openreach in the UK and Ireland’s electricity distribution network operator ESB – as well as local authorities, building maintenance providers and more.
The company launched its first platform designed specifically for fully electric vehicles at the end of last year. The VZ135e E-transit is also Aldercote’s first to be built entirely without stabilizers – helping to increase vehicle payloads without compromising safety standards.
Aldercote's new hires
Marc Paish, Aldercote's managing director, said: “We are delighted to welcome Mark to the Aldercote team. His wealth of experience in the sector, and the knowledge he can share with us and our customers, is invaluable.”
Two other new members have also recently joined the Aldercote team. Emily Boyd joins as customer relationship co-ordinator while Sam Dillon is the company’s newest service engineer. Both new hires are part of the company’s strategy ensuring gold-standard customer service.
