(“NFI”), one of the world’s leading independent global bus manufacturers, today announced that Martin West has joined the company as its new Group Commercial Director, adding substantial experience to lead its Sales, Commercial, Business Development and Marketing functions.
Reporting directly to President & Managing Director Paul Davies, Martin West joins ADL from Scania and brings with him 27 years of bus and coach sector experience gained from roles of increasing responsibility including his most recent position as Sales Director (Bus and Coach, Power Solutions).
Paul Davies comments: “Our world is changing rapidly and we need to ensure that the structure and responsibilities of the team are aligned to the evolving market demands and business needs. Martin’s deep knowledge of all aspects of the bus and coach sector, gained with another world class company, will give ADL the additional bench strength needed to drive our business growth agenda domestically and across all of our international markets.”
Martin West says: “Having enjoyed working in partnership with ADL for many years, I am very happy to now be a part of the global NFI team as we enhance and grow our offerings to the loyal customer base, as well as continuing to establish ADL as a trusted supplier and partner for many more operators, suppliers and authorities. The coming years are going to be the most intense and dynamic we have ever seen as our industry accelerates towards a net-zero carbon future for public transport, and we are determined and well prepared to be leaders on that transformational journey.”
Martin West’s appointment will allow Group Operations Director John Clougherty, who has been covering additional responsibilities for the Sales and Commercial functions during the COVID-19 pandemic, to dedicate his efforts to the critically important areas of Operations, Quality and Business Improvement.
