Sime Darby Commercial NZ has announced the appointment of Colin Muir as general manager for UD Trucks NZ and follows the 20-year tenure of outgoing general manager John Gerbich.
Muir has built a successful career in the heavy commercial sector over the past 24 years in both the UK and New Zealand. Previously, he was general manager for competing Japanese truck brand Isuzu Trucks NZ and most recently worked in the same role for heavy equipment supplier, AdvanceQuip.
“We are delighted to welcome Colin into the UD Trucks team. He brings a unique depth of experience across all aspects of building a successful heavy commercial business,” Sime Darby Commercial Sales NZ general manager Michael Doeg says.
“I’m confident that Colin will build on the strong legacy left by outgoing general manager, John Gerbich.
“John has championed the UD brand for three decades as national sales manager and then general manager. We’d like to acknowledge his exceptional service.
“Colin will benefit from John’s support over the coming weeks to ensure a seamless handover of the business,” Doeg says.
