International truck sales brand, Velocity Truck Centre, has appointed a new vice president of Retail Sales
VTC, which has dealerships in all of Australia’s major cities, as well as 65 dealerships in operation across the United States, has appointed former Isuzu head of sales Les Spaltman into a newly created vice president role.
Spaltman comes to VTC with an exemplary record at Isuzu with the brand having reached all-time record sales in consecutive years while he was leading the sales department.
Velocity Truck Centre president Richard Higgins expressed his delight at having Spaltman join his team.
“Les is a man of high integrity and is dedicated to supporting both his customers and his team,” Higgins says.
“His past performance is unquestionable and his approach and understanding of market trends will be a huge boost to our already high performing sales team.”
Spaltman will take on the day-to-day management and development of the Velocity Truck Centre sales team and will sit on the Executive team.
“Les will work in close collaboration with Simon Ramsay who has recently been appointed senior vice president Fleet Sales and Customer Experience and will draw on his vast experience to ensure we provide the best possible support to our Fleet customers,” Higgins says.
VTC’s Australian network sells and services commercial vehicles and exclusively represents Daimler Truck brands Mercedes-Benz Trucks, Freightliner and Fuso, as well as Mercedes Benz vans.
Velocity also operates 65 commercial vehicle dealership locations in the US across California, Arizona, Nevada, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, and Hawaii and eight locations in Baja California, Mexico.
