Steve Cundy retires after 40 years at Avon and Cooper
Steve Cundy, business development director for Cooper Tire Europe, has retired after almost 40 years of working at the European headquarters in Melksham, Wiltshire.
Having joined Avon Tyres in November 1971 as the company’s youngest Area Sales Manager at the age of 21, Cundy moved up through the ranks. He was UK sales director when the US-based Cooper Tire & Rubber Company acquired Avon in 1997 and since then has continued to develop Cooper’s car tyre business across Europe as well as becoming the head of the company’s motorcycle business unit and sales team in 2008.
