Global Machinery Solutions appoints Head of Construction to drive SANY growth
Global Machinery Solutions has appointed Alan Shea as Head of Construction as it looks to accelerate SANY machine sales across an expanded eastern region.
The Newark-based dealer recently extended its SANY sales territory into Leicestershire, adding to its existing coverage of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.
Alan will lead construction sales and service strategy across the full SANY range, including excavators, telehandlers and rollers.
The appointment also follows Global Machinery Solutions’ recent introduction of SANY material handlers to its portfolio, broadening its offering of heavier-duty machines for construction, recycling, infrastructure and related sectors.
Shea joins the business from the Rygor Group and brings decades of industry experience to the role.
Edward Baker, Managing Director of Global Machinery Solutions, said: “Alan’s appointment comes at a key point for the business, following our territory expansion, the growth of our machine range and being named Dealer of the Year at this month’s national SANY network conference.
“SANY is a core focus for Global Machinery Solutions. Alan strengthens our ability to support customers across a wider territory while continuing to raise standards in sales, service and product expertise.”
Alan said: “SANY has built a strong reputation for quality and value across multiple sectors, including construction, recycling, infrastructure and aggregates. I’m looking forward to developing the brand further and supporting customers across Global Machinery Solutions’ growing sales area.”
