Walker Mowers UK have appointed Ben Gold as their new area sales manager.

Announcing this new addition to the UK sales team, Walker country manager, Steve Egerton. told Service Dealer, "As our company sales activity continues to expand, it was important to find someone with a can-do attitude who has a sound knowledge of the industry at both dealer and end user level."

Ben graduated from University of Lancashire with a degree in Sports Journalism and moved to George Brown Ltd in Buckinghamshire for a temporary role in their replacement parts department. His obvious flare for sales was soon acknowledged and he transferred to machinery sales where he received promotion to the position of machinery sales representative.

Walker UK say the experience he gained in this sales role and at a professional dealer organisation will make him a valuable addition to their sales team. Working in an area north of the M4 and south of Yorkshire, Ben says he is looking forward to working with both existing and new dealers alike to build on the current sales success of the Walker brand.

In his leisure time Ben is an active sportsman playing football and cricket at a local level and also takes on the role of groundsman for the cricket ground. Ben will receive product training in the UK, Belgium and at the Walker manufacturing plant in Fort Collins, Colorado.
