A-Plant creates access sales director

Rental company A-Plant has promoted Steve King to the new position of sales director for the UK company's Powered Access business, part of A-Plant Specialist Products.

Mr King was previously field sales manager for the access business, where he won this year the A-Plant Sales Manager of the Year Award. The award includes the use of a new BMW Series 3 convertible for a year.

The new sales director said that he is proud of the quality and average age of the A-Plant Powered Access fleet. The company's "...access investment has also been accompanied by the purchase of specialised delivery vehicles allowing A-Plant to deliver machines more quickly and take on more work from customers requiring early deliveries," he continued.

The new position puts him on the board of A-Plant Specialist Products and continues the career begun 11 years ago on the rental desk at A-Plant's Northampton Powered Access depot.

A-Plant is part of Ashtead Group plc in the UK.
