Suzuki GB's Marine Division is delighted to announce changes to its sales team that will further enhance its ability to respond to the needs of the dealer network and to continue delivering exceptional customer service.
The first change is the appointment of Steve Warren as its newest Sales Account Manager who will be looking after Suzuki’s presence predominantly in the north of England and Wales, as well as in Southern Ireland.
Steve is no stranger to the marine industry and already has extensive product knowledge, having spent 8 years working in Suzuki GB’s technical department and being hands on in the company’s workshop facility. He has also supported the team at key events such as the Southampton Boat Show, Seawork and BoatLife as well as providing assistance to various key boat builder and commercial operator accounts with sea trials and rigging advice.
The second change continues Suzuki’s desire to promote from within, as existing team member, Ben Green, is to become Events Coordinator & Account Manager and will take on the responsibility for a number of selected key accounts. Ben has been with Suzuki GB for over 5 years, working first in the Dealer Services department, and then more recently, as Events Coordinator for the ATV and Marine team.
As the ‘face of Suzuki’ to dealers, commercial partners and customers, the Account Manager role is of vital importance and one which both are relishing. On his appointment, Steve said, “I am really excited to be making this move into a more customer-facing role and I can’t wait to get to know all our dealers and boat builders. From my time within the technical team, I know that Suzuki’s outboards and products have an excellent reputation within the industry and I am confident I can contribute positively to the continued success of Suzuki Marine.”
Ben added, “I have really enjoyed working with our network of our dealers and boat builders at shows and on marketing initiatives over the last couple of years. To now be helping them to drive sales of Suzuki products is the next logical progression for me.”
Mark Beeley, Head ATV & Marine for Suzuki GB said, “I am very pleased to officially welcome Steve to the team and to see Ben move into his new role. We sell highly innovative outboard motors and Steve’s technical expertise will help us continue to deliver outstanding support to our dealers and boat builders. Ben’s experience and existing relationships with our network will help in continuing to bolster the service we provide to customers.”
