Dayco UK has appointed Ann-Marie Dean as its new National Sales Manager, following the retirement of Steve Carolan at the end of December 2024.
Ms. Dean joined Dayco in 2018, bringing experience in parts operations and business-to-business sales for cars and commercial vehicles.
“Truly living up to Steve’s comments at the time, when he said: “Ann-Marie has an obvious enthusiasm for the industry and that’s a great attribute to have when you also have an understanding of the challenges technicians face,” Ann-Marie has consistently demonstrated a commitment to raise awareness of the Dayco brand and the original equipment replacement parts solutions the company has to offer.
“Over the last six years, I have benefited from working with a great team, under dependable leadership, during which the business has grown in both its reputation and market share,” explains Ann-Marie. “So, taking onboard these positives, I’m delighted and honoured to take up the country’s management role and, together with my colleagues, keep Dayco on the rising trajectory it’s been on since establishing its independent distribution in 2011.
“Although the trade is sensibly looking at how to benefit from the growth in electric vehicles, it’s also wise for it to remember that the vast majority of the vehicles that will enter the independent workshop for the next decade, will have an internal combustion engine, whether petrol or diesel.
“This means that Dayco, and the products that we offer, will remain relevant and required for the foreseeable future, which is a great thing for me to remember as I enjoy the challenges that will no doubt arise from this new expanded role.”
