SEA Electric, has announced that Gillespie will be joining the company in the position of President – Asia Pacific.
Mr Gillespie had recently resigned his position Vice President of Brand and Franchise Development, at Hino Motors Australia citing family reasons. He spent seven years with Hino.
“It is with great pleasure that we welcome Bill to the SEA Electric family,” said Tony Fairweather, SEA Electric’s Founder and President.
“This is an exciting time for SEA Electric, especially in the Asia Pacific region, with Bill set to anchor the market development team, enabling the region to achieve its substantial growth forecast.
“Glen Walker’s position will be renamed Vice President – Asia Pacific, and he will continue his incredible work in providing high quality and efficiently produced electric vehicle products to the Asia Pacific region.”
Mr Gillespie joins SEA Electric at an exciting time for the manufacturer, which will be launching its Hino-based range of electric-powered trucks at next week’s Brisbane Truck Show.
“I’m incredibly optimistic about joining the SEA Electric business at a time when the market demand for zero-emission logistics and vehicles is growing, and to have a role in an Australian company with a global footprint like SEA Electric is a once in a career opportunity,” said Gillespie.
