Andy Dingley becomes Brigestone UK communications manager

Bridgestone has appointed Andy Dingley, previously Bridgestone UK’s advertising and promotions manager, as communications manager. Dingley will reportedly use his 16 years experience in the tyre industry to build the strategic communications campaigns, focusing on public relations, brand, corporate and crisis communications, online activity and consumer shows. The move brings all product groups together for the first time and follows a recent restructuring of the senior sales and marketing team at Bridgestone North Europe. Dingley will focus on boosting the company’s visibility in the UK whilst helping to promote the business’ success across the whole North region.

“There is great opportunity within the business to build the brand’s reputation and it’s a challenge I am very much looking forward to. My main focus over the coming year is to fully develop this new role whilst opening up internal and external communications channels to promote our eco-friendly and safety-conscious credentials. The restructuring opened the door to a role that will allow me to bring the experience I’ve gained from working across different areas of the business, to drive the brand forward through interesting and engaging stakeholder communication,” Dingley commented.
