With effect from 1st January 2022, Natalie Dunleavy has taken over as Regional Manager for the support and coordination of all sales activities in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland at Clark Europe.

Natalie Dunleavy is no stranger to Clark. She can already look back on 15 years of experience as Sales Director within the Clark dealer network in Great Britain at the Clark dealer Knightsbridge Mechanical Handling Ltd. This job gave her a sound knowledge of Clark and the Clark product range. Her responsibilities at Knightsbridge included looking after key accounts in sales and rental, as well as preparing quotations for fleet management for large blue chip companies.

At Clark Europe, she succeeds Kevin Tims, who is taking a well-deserved retirement.

“I aim to build on the success of our dealers over the next few years and expand the existing Clark dealer network,” Dunleavy explains. “This will ensure that we can continue to drive sales of Clark products and grow market share post-Brexit.”

“We are delighted to welcome Ms Dunleavy on board the Clark organisation and wish her every success in expanding, planning and coordinating sales activities in the UK and Ireland,” says Rolf Eiten, President & CEO of Clark Europe GmbH. As Regional Manager, Natalie Dunleavy reports directly to Stefan Budweit, Director Sales & Marketing at Clark Europe.

 

Intralogistics systems provider STILL Material Handling UK has appointed Gillian Reed as Managing Director with effect from 1st January 2022.

Reed was formerly Service and Operations Director at STILL UK, where she has been responsible for leading the development of the service team under STILL’s sales and service network.

Speaking about her new role, Reed said: “Like many businesses, the last 12 months has been challenging for STILL UK. However, despite navigating our way through COVID with the support of our excellent team we have strengthened our business model with the formation of our new hybrid sales and service network consisting of direct sales and service, Exclusive Distributors and Regional Partners.

“As I look to the future, the needs and satisfaction of our customers are the foundation of our business and I have been proud to set high standards in our service business with our consistent Net Promotor Score which will remain front and centre for all that we do.”

Reed added. “I am very much looking forward to leading the UK business and it’s fantastic colleagues as we forge ahead with our exciting agenda.”

Reed replaces Torsten Wiecker, who has taken up a new role as Vice President Brand Management STILL EMEA.

Clark Europe has appointed Andy Baldy as its new Director Parts Sales & Admin. Baldy is responsible for the areas of sales, order processing and purchasing of spare parts as well as technical parts support.

“We wish Mr Baldy every success in his new role,” says Rolf Eiten, President & CEO at Clark Europe. “As an experienced employee who has already successfully demonstrated his skills and professional commitment in the spare parts business for more than ten years in various positions for our company, the promotion to Director Parts Sales & Admin was a logical consequence.”

Baldy began his professional career after studying sales management at Intrupa BV in the Netherlands in the area of customer service and marketing. This was followed by a move to Büsch Gabelstapler in Kerken, where he worked as Sales Manager. Andy Baldy has been on board of Clark Europe GmbH since 2010 – initially as Parts Sales Manager and since September 2020 as Parts Manager Clark Europe. In this role, he has managed the Sales, Customer Service and Purchasing of the parts department and team.

“I am happy about the trust that is placed in me,” explains Baldy on the occasion of his promotion. “Enjoying the work and success is my great motivator. However, lasting success is only possible together, so I would like to have a lasting positive influence on the spare parts business with my team.”
