Bell appoint new UK sales and marketing manager

Former Carillion sales and marketing director Nick Learoyd joins Bell Equipment UK

BELL Equipment UK have appointed Nick Learoyd as their new sales and marketing manager for the UK and Ireland.  

Mr Learoyd has had a long association with Bell as a customer over the past 12 years, having been sales and marketing director for Alfred McAlpine, a role that he continued when the company was bought by Carillion in 2008.

He began his new role, based at Bell’s UK headquarters in Staffordshire, on 14 February.

His appointment follows the departure of Josh Foster, who has taken on the role of general manager for Bell’s operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Mr Learoyd said: ‘I’ve been associated with the Bell product for a number of years, specifying, procuring and operating the full range of Bell articulated dumptrucks throughout the UK. The products have continually improved over this time to become market leaders in various applications.’

Neville Paynter, managing director of Bell UK, added: ‘I’ve worked in the industry with Nick for the past five years and know him as a man of strong integrity and loyalty, with an enthusiastic knowledge of the construction sector, and a professional leader. I’m sure he will fit in well with the Bell ethos.’
