Conti Promotes Guildford

Continental has promoted Barry Guildford to the post of general sales manager for the industrial tyre division.

He will be responsible for Continental’s original equipment and replacement industrial tyre business in the UK.

“I am delighted to have Barry take on this new role, especially as the industrial division is going from strength to strength,” said Arthur Gregg, Continental’s business director for commercial tyres. “His extensive marketing experience and success in re-invigorating the truck replacement brand makes him ideally placed to drive industrial sales activity forward.”

Mr Guildford joined Conti in 2001 as truck and remould brand manager and was subsequently promoted to commercial marketing manager.
