In addition to overseeing the existing network of Baumann sideloader dealers in the UK and Ireland, Mark will be responsible for identifying vacant territories for Baumann, while attracting and working with new dealers.

Working in materials handling for over 13 years, Mark brings a wealth of knowledge and significant industry experience to the role.

The firm was also shortlisted in the same category in the 2017 awards for its new high performance electric model, the ELX50.
