64 AFTERMARKET APRIL 2020 RECRUITMENT www.aftermarketonline.net The latest news on who is moving in the industry NEW APPOINTMENTS EBT sales team expands Having recently been appointed as a strategic partner for Exide in the UK and Ireland, ECOBAT Battery Technologies (EBT) has recruited Brian Sanders and Scott Barker from Exide Technologies. “Brian and Scott have both had long and distinguished aftermarket careers and consistently demonstrated their considerable battery knowledge,” said EBT Managing Director Steve Sheppard. “These factors, along with an infectious enthusiasm, have convinced us that alongside our existing team, they have what it takes to help us grow the presence of the Exide brand in the UK and Ireland. Steve continued: “Besides development of the brand’s wide portfolio of products for multiple sector applications, Brian and Scott will add additional focus to our commitment to education and development of AGM and EFB batteries within the independent aftermarket, where despite considerable progress, helped in no small part by the introduction of our ONE BOX solution, challenges concerning the awareness of Stop/Start compatible batteries among both individual technicians and workshops in general, still persist. However, with these two valuable additions to the national sales team, we have a larger presence on the ground and an additional AGM and EFB original equipment option with which to fulfil the growing demand.” Banner boosts sales force Banner Batteries has appointed Hana Prowse as its new Business Development Manager for the north of England and Scotland. Before Joining Banner, Hana was at Denso where she was Business Development Manager Northern England and North Wales. Prior to that, Hana was with Mobiletron UK. Commenting on Hana's appointment, Banner Batteries Country Manager Lee Quinney said: “Hana has a proven track record in the automotive aftermarket and we are confident she will prove instrumental in strengthening Banner’s position across the north and Scotland, both of which are important strategic territories. Supplying a first-class service to our customer base remains one of our main priorities, together with promoting Banner’s original equipment pedigree, and Hana will help spearhead this.” Welcome to Aftermarket’s new appointments section.
