PCL has announced it has welcomed Steve Nolan as its Area Sales Manager for the South of England, bringing extensive industry experience.
Steve has previously worked on key automotive accounts dealing with distributors and end users, covering national trade shows and conferences.
His territory will stretch from the M4 down, with the entire region under his management following a restructure of PCL’s sales operation.
Steve commented: “It’s a huge area to cover with so much potential. There is nothing in particular on the product range that I haven’t already come across and used. I’m looking forward to understanding what the opportunities are and developing what is largely an untapped market from a PCL perspective.”
So far Steve has mostly introduced himself to customers remotely due to COVID-19, discovering who is working at full capacity, which companies are still on reduced operations, and where PCL can help them.
He continued: “It’s still very precarious out there but the automotive industry is quite steady. The key is to listen to customers and ask questions to assess whether they can take on board special projects and what PCL can do to assist. The company is extremely forward-thinking – the PCL branded way is very much ‘let’s see what we can do’.
“For customers who are struggling or looking to develop I think it’s a simple message – think outside the box and consider exploring other avenues. PCL and TECALEMIT products can go into a huge variety of markets. So I’ll be having those kind of conversations to show partners where PCL can open different doors they may never even have thought of before.”
Steve added: “Joining PCL in the middle of a pandemic is strange and exciting at the same time, and I’m extremely happy to be able to encourage distributors to look in new directions, such as extending their product base for end users or diversifying their market during these trying times.”
