Michelin Tyre has appointed Guy Heywood as its new Commercial Director of Operations for Ireland and the UK. Heywood is currently head of Michelin's Truck and Bus division, a position he has held since 2012 and will remain in charge of this in his new expanded role.
Following his new appointment, Heywood said: "I'm delighted to have the opportunity to work closely with teams across the business. As the largest tyre manufacturer in the UK, our three plants in Ballymena, Dundee and Stoke-on-Trent collectively have a larger manufacturing output than every other tyre manufacturer in the UK combined. That's a fantastic position for Michelin to be in, and it's one which resonates firmly with our customers."
