Newage Transmissions has strengthened its senior management team with the appointment of Miles Johnson as Sales and Marketing Director.
Coventry-based mechanical driveline equipment specialist, Newage Transmissions Ltd has strengthened its senior management team with the appointment of Miles Johnson as Sales and Marketing Director.
Mr Johnson joins the company with extensive manufacturing and sales experience, gained within the automotive and mechanical power transmission sectors.
In addition, his track record of success includes several years as General Manager of JCB subsidiary, International Transmissions Ltd, where he was responsible for taking the company from its inception to become a major world-wide player in the off-highway driveline industry.
In his new role, he will be overseeing the launch of the latest additions to Newage's product range, as well as leading the company's drive to increase overseas sales.
"We already enjoy an extremely strong position in our established home markets within the marine and off-highway construction vehicle sectors," comments Newage's Managing Director, Paul McLaughlin.
"The wealth of export sales experience Miles has amassed, particularly in the North American off-highway market, will be invaluable in underpinning our activities in this important territory.
We have recently expanded our distributor network in the US and are now looking to build on this foundation with a number of new initiatives." Born and educated in Cheshire, Miles Johnson joined Sandbach-based Foden Trucks as a student apprentice in 1961.
He subsequently held several design and industrial engineering posts within the company, before being appointed Production Manager in the early 1980s.
In 1983, he moved to JCB Transmissions at Wrexham as Manufacturing Manager, and three years later was instrumental in setting up International Transmissions Ltd, a sales and marketing operation servicing the needs of off-highway vehicle original equipment manufacturers world-wide.
In 1992, he was appointed General Manager of the JCB subsidiary and played a key role in developing overseas sales before taking up his new post at Newage.
Married with two grown-up children, Mr Johnson lives with his wife in Cheshire and lists classic cars and hill walking among his leisure pursuits.
