Hankook Tyre UK has welcomed two new members to its Truck and Bus team, each with over 30 years of industry experience. Jason Bloor has been appointed national account manager, overseeing national fleets activities; and Peter Hatton has been appointed regional sales manager for the combined Midlands and Northwest region.
Bloor, who has 34 years in the tire industry, said, “I joined the tire industry straight out of school in 1991 starting as a fitter where I discovered a passion for fleet management. Over the last 20 years, I have managed mileage contracts and key accounts, taking on responsibility in both sales and operations. I am excited to bring my decades of experience to Hankook and help drive brand awareness and strengthen customer relationships.”
Hatton, who joined Hankook Tyre UK at the beginning of May and also brings over three decades of expertise in the tire and transport industry, said, “Having spent 30+ years working in the tire and transport industry, I am privileged to be part of the Hankook UK team. The company offers an excellent range of tire products across its premium Hankook brand and associate brand Laufenn. I look forward to applying my skills and experience in support both current and new customers, while working alongside a brilliant team.”
Chang-Yool Han, Hankook Tyre UK managing director, said, “Following the opening of Hankook House, our new UK headquarters, we are pursuing ambitious growth plans for the UK market. We are delighted to welcome Jason Bloor and Peter Hatton to the team. Their extensive industry experience will undoubtedly make an immediate impact on the company’s continued success”.
