Graver joins Midwest Motor Factors as parts sales manager

Midwest Motor Factors has appointed Mark Graver to the role of parts sales manager.

Based at its new-look Bilston branch, he will be responsible for developing sales and the growth within the Midwest branch network, as well as tapping into new opportunities.

Midlands-based Graver comes from a military background but for the past 15 years has enjoyed a variety of roles in sales management, working in all sectors of the OES and IAM supply chains. Widely travelled, he has also worked in R&D to add another impressive string to his bow.

Commenting on his new role, Graver said: “Midwest Motor Factors is a fantastic business and there are huge opportunities ahead as we unlock the potential within the branch network. The motor factor is firmly in touch with its customer base and that of the wider community, working to ensure everyone experiences the benefits it has to offer.”

Craig McCracken, group factor manager, said: “I am delighted to have Mark on board, his appointment comes at an exciting time of growth for Midwest. He will no doubt play an important role in helping us move forward with our big plans for the future, working with our customers and branch managers.”

Established in 1980, Midwest Motor Factors now employs more than 80 members of staff and operates a fleet of over 45 delivery vehicles from five different locations throughout the Black Country, including Bilston, Brownhills, Rugeley, Wolverhampton and West Bromwich.

Midwest is also known as a champion of the community, being very much invested in the area and has demonstrated this through various sports sponsorships: with local football team Bilston Town FC, with British Speedway team Wolverhampton Wolves and, with Walsall FC in the 2017/18 Sky Bet league one.
