Kevin Lanksford has been appointed to the position of Fleet and Specialist Vehicle Sales Director for Scania (Great Britain) Limited, with effect from 6 May 2015. Reporting directly to UK Truck Sales Director Martin Hay, Kevin succeeds David Johnson, a long-standing Scania employee who retires later this year following 32 years service.
Kevin Lanksford has spent more than 27 years within the truck industry in a career spanning financial services, dealer group management and retail and fleet sales. He joins Scania from DAF, where he worked as Fleet Sales Director up until the middle of 2013 before becoming Sales Director for Paccar Financial UK.
“With his broad knowledge of the heavy truck industry Kevin brings a wealth of experience to our Fleet and Specialist Vehicles Sales operation,” says Martin Hay. “While the role is based at our Milton Keynes headquarters, Kevin will spend much of his time in the field with our dealers and customers. Initially, he will work alongside David Johnson in order to ensure a seamless transition as he gets to know our staff and operators. On behalf of all of us within the Scania UK network I wish Kevin every success in this important role.”
