TVH bolsters UK & Ireland leadership with promotion of Robert Jamison and appointment of Andrea Manenti as regional director
TVH, a global leader in replacement parts and services for materials handling, industrial and agricultural equipment, has announced key leadership appointments to drive its continued growth and service expansion across the UK and Ireland.
Robert Jamison has been promoted to general sales manager for Ireland and Northern Ireland for both TVH and IPS Ireland - the access parts specialist. He will report directly to Andrea Manenti (left), who joined TVH on 7th September as regional director for UK & Ireland.
"I am proud to step up into the role of general sales manager for Ireland and Northern Ireland for TVH and IPS Ireland,” says Robert. “Together with Andrea and our local team, our focus remains firmly on supporting our Irish customers with fast parts supply and technical expertise."
Based out of TVH's regional offices in Kidderminster and Birmingham, Andrea will oversee overall strategic expansion, operational performance and commercial growth across both territories. He brings decades of hands-on leadership experience in the tyre and mobility sector, having held senior executive international roles in Italy, Asia, UK & Ireland, at industry-renowned organisations including Trelleborg, Yokohama, and Bridgestone.
He says:
"I am thrilled to join TVH and lead our dedicated teams across the UK and Ireland. I look forward to working closely with our customers and partners, building on TVH's strong foundation, and continuing to elevate our service standards and technical solutions across both markets."
Dieter Dezitter (right), vice president commercial Northern Europe, says of the two appointments:
"Robert and his team have consistently delivered exceptional performance in Ireland; his promotion to general sales manager for Ireland, combined with Andrea taking the helm as regional director, significantly strengthens our local footprint and ensures our customers receive top-tier service and parts availability."
With a stock of over 1,000,000 different references and a database of nearly 55,000,000 item numbers, TVH supplies to more than 90,000 customers across 180 countries.
In addition, its technical experts offer a wide range of services, from a fully-fledged electronics remanufacturing department (Europe's largest), over TVH University to a remanufacturing division. It boasts headquarters in Waregem (Belgium) and a regional main office in Olathe, Kansas (US) serving the American market. In total, TVH operates from 90 branches across all continents. The company was founded in 1969 and employs more than 5,000 people worldwide.
In 2021, TVH joined forces with D'Ieteren Group, which acquired 40% of the shares. The remaining 60% stays in the hands of the Thermote family.
