Phil said: “I am absolutely delighted to be joining the team at Wrightbus. The vision, direction and drive the senior team has for supporting the industry to meet its various net zero targets is clear.
“Offering the most efficient products, comprehensive support packages and further investment in the business will bring confidence and peace of mind to our customers when making procurement decisions for their future transport requirements.”
