Chris Logan to Head Up Michelin Earthmover and Industrial

Chris Logan has been appointed to the role of commercial director for Michelin’s earthmover and industrial operations in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Logan, 44, a 21 year Michelin veteran, has held a number of positions within the company, most recently as sales manager in the replacement car tyre market. Prior to this, Logan spent four years as commercial director of Michelin’s operations in Nigeria. Other roles during his career with Michelin have included three years as a regional earthmover manager in the early 1990s, with responsibility for a territory spanning the East and South East of England.

“My primary focus will be to secure our position in both the earthmover and industrial sectors, whilst continuing to look for opportunities for steady growth,” said Logan, commenting on his new appointment. “We have one of the broadest ranges of tyres of any manufacturer in these two specialist areas, and the forthcoming launch of new products such as the XHA2 for wheel loaders highlights our position on the frontline of product innovation and development.”

Logan will be based at Michelin’s UK headquarters in Stoke-on-Trent. He replaces Darren Lindsey, who is transferring after three years in the role to take on a new position within the company.
