Bosch Aftermarket appoints new UK and Ireland sales manager

Bosch Aftermarket, the division of the German company responsible for supplying diagnostic garage equipment, training and the Bosch Car Service network, has appointed Dominic Moran its new country sales manager for the UK and Ireland. Moran, who begins in the position on 1 January 2012, moves to the UK from his current Aftermarket role as regional sales manager for the Bosch Group in Australia; he brings with him, notes Bosch, significant experience from previous sales roles within the consumer hardware and automotive sectors.

Before joining Bosch, Moran held a sales advisor position at Kärcher between 1996 and 2003 and then was employed as a sales representative at Ryco Filtration until 2007. In his new role, Moran will be responsible for business development and building customer relationships, as well as customer and distribution strategies.

“We are very pleased that Dominic has joined us as country sales manager for the UK and Ireland,” commented Robin Shaw, divisional director of Bosch Automotive Aftermarket in the UK. “It is a very significant market for Bosch, and Dominic’s background means he arrives with a wealth of experience to further strengthen Bosch’s position within the UK aftermarket sector.”

The move to the UK is a move home for Moran, who is originally from Chelmsford in Essex. “I am excited to be joining Bosch in the UK and become part of a fantastic aftermarket team that I am confident will continue to provide its customers with the best possible service and solutions,” he said. Moran’s predecessor, Damion Newsome, has been appointed Bosch aftermarket regional director of Oceania.
