New sales team for Hird

UK sales and rental company Hird has launched a new sales team with the appointments of Glynn Goodwin, Matt Jinks and Sasha Facey.

The three new hires will report to Hird veteran Carl Cooper as sales and after sales manager. The aim of the new dedicated sales team is to free up depot managers to focus on operations rather than selling.

Industry veteran Glynn Goodwin joins Hird as central sales executive based at the company's Doncaster depot. The move follows his departure last month from Workplatform where he served as business development for the past three and a half years. Goodwin has spent his entire career in the access industry having started out in the 1980s with Instant Zip-Up, which later became UpRight UK, leaving to join AJ Access as sales manager in 2000. Five years later he moved to Genie as used equipment sales manager for Europe, Africa and the Middle East. He later became a regional sales manager for Genie UK, taking over from John Fuller as divisional sales manager for the UK and Ireland in 2008. At the end of 2009 he set up his own sales company Liftright Access, selling the business to Garry Fleckney in 2011 so that he could take up a job offer as used equipment sales manager for Skyjack Europe (see: Garry Fleckney buys Liftright Access). He left Skyjack for Workplatform in 2017.
