New Role for Bridgestone Analyst

Bridgestone UK’s sales force in the Midlands has been boosted by the appointment of Sally Whittall to the role of area sales manager, replacing Simon Davies who recently took up a new role as national account executive.

Whittall has worked at Bridgestone for the past five years as a pricing analyst in the marketing department, and is planning to use her marketing skills to bring a fresh approach to the sales team.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the marketing team, and I’m now looking forward to the new challenge of selling the tyres I’ve been helping to promote all these years,” said Sally. “I’ve gained a lot of experience in my time at Bridgestone, and the next step for me is to take my product knowledge out into the field.”

Sally Whittall will be working alongside First Stop business development manager Neil Cleaver. “My role is to sell our products to dealers, while Neil helps them sell the tyres on to consumers through the use of in-store promotions, for example. In reality though we will be working together to help each other achieve both aims, and I can’t wait to get started,” Whittall commented.
