Arthur Whiteside, Managing Director of UK Sales at Alexander Dennis (ADL), will retire at the end of this month.
Mr Whiteside has enjoyed a 50-year automotive career that began as a truck mechanic before moving into sales in the early 1970s. He joined ADL in 2005 as Aftermarket Director where he was responsible for establishing parts centres in three export markets.
He took up the role of UK Sales Director in 2009 and since then has led ADL to leadership of the UK market, with a share of over 50%.
While Mr Whiteside will step back from day-to-day involvement at the end of August, he will continue to support ADL during a transitional phase.
