Isuzu expands executive team

Isuzu Australia Limited has appointed Jeff Gibson to the position of Engineering Support Manager.

Isuzu's Chief Engineer, Product Strategy, Simon Humphries, said the road transport equipment industry expert would bring considerable expertise to the role and the wider Isuzu customer base.

"A major contributor to the enduring success of Isuzu Trucks in Australia has been our ability to accurately specify a range of vehicles that meet the market demand across a vast array of applications," he said.

"Knowing your market and its needs is key to sales success, and understanding your customers and being able to distill their evolving requirements into an ongoing product development program ensures that this is enduring.

"Jeff brings significant experience to the role and the detailed knowledge he has developed over the past three decades, from starting out as an apprentice mechanic to working as Engineering Support Manager and then Sales Engineer with other major OEMs.

"Not only does he bring a quality industry pedigree to IAL, Jeff is also a passionate car enthusiast having worked both as a supercar race mechanic, and with time behind the wheel racing in Go-Karts and Formula Vee.

"When Jeff says he was born and bred in automotive and the transport industry, it's not an understatement."

Mr Gibson said he was thrilled to be joining the IAL team.

"I see the difference between Isuzu and the rest of the truck market in how they treat their customers during and after purchase, their hunger to find the best solution for each customer and their recognition of the importance of keeping that solution on the road," he said.

"Isuzu is number one in the market for good reason, and I'm excited about the opportunity to contribute and help to build on this record."
