EVM UK has named Stephen Haywood (pictured) as Area Sales Manager, Accessible and Municipal – South. In that role he will be responsible for further building relationships with local authorities, bus operators, community groups and providers of accessible transport services.
Mr Haywood is a longstanding member of the accessible minibus sector and was most recently with Mellor. With EVM he will focus on providing customers with the right vehicles to meet accessibility and inclusivity needs, and strengthens the business’s existing reach in that field.
Speaking about the development, EVM UK Director Peter Flynn says: “Stephen’s appointment is a significant step in our ongoing commitment to serving UK councils, community transport providers and accessible PSV operators.
“I have known Stephen for many years in the industry. His knowledge and passion for delivering customer-focused solutions align perfectly with EVM’s ethos. We are confident that he will play a crucial role in helping organisations across the UK find the right transport solutions for their passengers.”
Adds Mr Haywood: “I am very excited to be joining EVM UK and working with councils, charities and accessible transport providers to help them find the best mobility solutions.
“Accessibility and community transport are vital sectors, and I look forward to supporting operators in delivering safe, reliable and efficient services.
“It is a very exciting time to be joining EVM, when its range of products has expanded substantially with both electric and internal combustion engine accessible solutions.”
