Ring announces new area sales manager for Scotland and Northern Ireland

Martin Barron has joined Ring Automotive as its new automotive area sales manager Scotland & Northern Ireland. Barron will be travelling throughout Scotland and Northern Ireland visiting motor factors to developing relationships with them and discuss the needs they have for their businesses.

He has vast knowledge on the sector and understands first-hand what customers often need, as he spent 19 years in a workshop environment, starting off his career as an apprentice in the motor trade and working his way up to the role of centre manager before venturing into the energy industry, as an engineer.

Martin Barron said: “As I still have many contacts from the motor trade, I heard through word of mouth that the position at Ring was available. My reason for taking the job was twofold, firstly, I had a good knowledge of the products Ring offered from my career in the aftermarket and secondly I was looking to take on a new challenge, and this role suited me perfectly.”
