New National Sales Manager at Exide

Exide has appointed a new national sales manager. Effective February 8, this position rests in the hands of Heath Ghent, who, according to the battery supplier, brings with him a wealth of experience. Ghent’s previous roles include senior sales and marketing positions in a variety of companies, including Aggreko Ltd and Air Products PLC, servicing customers in a wide cross section of market sectors.

Announcing the appointment, Sales and Marketing director Andrew Bevington said, “It had become apparent that the strategy and the motivation of our sales effort needed to move in a different direction and very quickly if we were to build on the momentum we have created already. Having worked with Heath on some very successful projects in the past I realised that we needed someone of his calibre and drive to move us to the next level. I was therefore delighted to learn that he was able to join us and I am certain that he will quickly become a respected and dynamic figure both with our customers and the industry in general.”
