Isuzu says that Tony Kerr brings with him a broad but intensive 30-year career across the truck industry, in the light, medium and heavy-duty categories.
His experience also comprises sales, general management and operations in respected companies such as Comet/Kwikasair Express (TNT), Scania, Volgren, and Genuine Truck Bodies/Vehicle Storage and Engineering.
Possessing a combination of transport solutions experience and sales expertise, as well as an MBA from Swinburne University, Mr Kerr seeks to continue to strategically grow IAL’s fleet sales across the country in his new role.
Kerr says he hopes to bring to the table different perspectives and approaches that aim to understand the customer’s business and their needs.
“We’re not just selling a truck to them—we’re also working on how that truck can grow their business,” he said.
“I’m looking forward to working with such a recognised and respected brand. I couldn’t be happier with the appointment and look forward to forging new relationships,” Kerr added.
Commenting on Mr Kerr’s appointment, IAL Director and Chief Executive Officer, Phil Taylor said: “Tony comes to us with a broad-ranging background, and his experience in all facets of the road transport industry will stand him in good stead for what is a challenging role.
“Working closely with National Sales Manager Les Spaltman and his team, I expect Tony to not only fit in well, but thrive in his new position with the truck market leader.”
