Martin Hay has been appointed to the position of Managing Director for Scania (Great Britain) with effect from 1 September. Martin will succeed Claes Jacobsson, who is returning to Sweden to take up a role within Scania AB in Södertälje.
With over 28 years’ experience with the Scania organization, Martin has worked within the dealer network, at importer level and at Scania's headquarters operation in Sweden.
His dealer career included spells as MD for the former Scantruck operation and as Regional Executive Director for Scania South East.
In 2009, he moved to Scania (Great Britain) Limited's Milton Keynes headquarters to take up the role of Sales Director, and then in 2016, he transferred to Scania AB to become Vice President – Truck Sales.
Says Martin: “I have been extremely fortunate to work for Scania in Sweden during this exciting period for the business, and it is now an absolute pleasure to be returning to Scania (Great Britain).”
“The UK is one of Scania's most successful and important markets worldwide, and I am looking forward to rejoining the team.”
Claes added: “Having worked with Martin during his time at both Scania (Great Britain) Limited and Scania AB, I know he will do an excellent job for Scania in the UK going forward.
“For my part, I have enjoyed five fantastic years in Great Britain and it is with a heavy heart that I say farewell to the many friends – colleagues, customers and suppliers – I have made during my time here. To all, I say thank you, and offer my very best wishes for the future.”
