Sales champ joins Velocity Truck Centre

Mr Spaltman was most recently Head of Sales with Isuzu Australia Ltd (IAL), where under his leadership the brand reached all-time record sales in consecutive years.

Les resigned from the position last year to return to the retail world. With his knowledge and understanding of truck operations and strong people leadership skills, Velocity Truck Centre says he is a natural choice to join the team.

Velocity Truck Centre President, Richard Higgins, said he was delighted to welcome Mr Spaltman to the VTC team.

“Les is a man of high integrity and is dedicated to supporting both his customers and his team. His past performance is unquestionable and his approach and understanding of market trends will be a huge boost to our already high-performing sales team,” Mr Higgins said.

Mr Spaltman will take on the day-to-day management and development of the Velocity Truck Centre sales team and will sit on the Executive team.

VTC’s Australian network sells and services commercial vehicles and exclusively represents Daimler Truck brands Mercedes-Benz Trucks, Freightliner and Fuso, as well as Mercedes-Benz vans.

Velocity also operates 65 commercial vehicle dealership locations in the US across California, Arizona, Nevada, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, and Hawaii, as well as eight locations in Baja California, Mexico.
