Nationwide Trailer Parts is delighted to announce the appointment of Richard Denton as Operations Director, marking a welcome return to the business after three years away.
Richard is a familiar face to many within the tail lift industry, having previously spent almost ten years with Nationwide Trailer Parts between January 2014 and September 2023 as Tail Lift Parts Manager.
During his previous time with the company, Richard played an instrumental role in developing and growing our tail lift parts division, helping to establish Nationwide Trailer Parts as a leading supplier within the UK market. In particular, he was heavily involved in developing the UK market for Haco aftermarket tail lift parts, expanding our product offering and building strong relationships with customers and suppliers.
Richard brings extensive industry knowledge and technical expertise to his new position. Before joining Nationwide Trailer Parts in 2014, his career included working as a tail lift engineer and within the parts division of leading tail lift manufacturer Palfinger, giving him valuable hands-on experience and a thorough understanding of the industry.
Following his departure from Nationwide Trailer Parts in 2023, Richard took on an engineering role with Siemens, further broadening his experience before making the decision to return to the business in a senior leadership capacity.
As Operations Director, Richard will take responsibility for overseeing the day-to-day operational activities of Nationwide Trailer Parts, including stock management, logistics, supply chain and the tail lift parts team.
He will also play a key role in supporting the continued growth and development of the business, overseeing new projects and opportunities, strengthening supplier relationships and providing technical and commercial support to customers.
Working closely with the existing management team, Richard's appointment will help ensure the business continues to deliver the high levels of customer service, product expertise and operational efficiency that our customers expect.
We are extremely pleased to welcome Richard back to Nationwide Trailer Parts and look forward to the experience, knowledge and leadership he will bring to the business as we continue to grow.
