MAHLE strengthens sales team<br />

with new appointment<br />

MAHLE Aftermarket appoints new Regional Sales Manager and brings<br />

wealth of industry experience to the role. He will be integral to<br />

supporting customers across central UK<br />

MAHLE Aftermarket UK has appointed Ian<br />

Dore as its new Regional Sales Manager<br />

to bolster its expertise in the team and<br />

continue to deliver excellent customer<br />

service.<br />

Ian will be responsible for key account<br />

management, as well as looking after all<br />

customers in central UK.<br />

He joins MAHLE Aftermarket with a strong<br />

background in sales, having previously held<br />

roles at Valeo and a UK manufacturer of hot<br />

tubs selling into the commercial market.<br />

Commenting on his new position, Ian<br />

said: “I’m delighted to be joining MAHLE,<br />

the company is a great fit for me as I am a<br />

technical salesperson, but also driven by<br />

data – and my new position combines the<br />

two.<br />

“I am a big advocate of the internal<br />

combustion engine (ICE), so it‘s great to be<br />

part of the automotive aftermarket. But I<br />

am also interested in looking to the future<br />

in terms of technology and I have peace of<br />

mind that MAHLE understands the market<br />

and is helping to futureproof the business<br />

(thus my career) with its latest innovations.<br />

“I’m looking forward to adding value<br />

to the business and building positive<br />

relationships with MAHLE customers.”<br />

Jason Smith, UK and Ireland sales and<br />

marketing manager at MAHLE Aftermarket<br />

adds: “With the new appointment of Ian<br />

to our sales team, we’re building on our<br />

knowledge, relationships and customer<br />

service levels to fully support the business<br />

further.<br />

“Ian has fantastic sales experience to<br />

make him an asset to the MAHLE team<br />

and the wider business. Along with his<br />

previous experience at Valeo bolstering<br />

his skill set, he is perfectly positioned to<br />

offer exceptional service to our customers<br />

across the UK and we’d like to wish him<br />

every success.”<br />
