Ring Automotive has announced that Colin McCourt has recently joined the company and will be primarily managing accounts on the island of Ireland, looking after both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, seeking out new opportunities for business development and growth and arranging workouts with customers.

Colin has more than 20 years experience in the aftermarket, including previous roles with Forte Lubricants, Magowan Tyres, Würth Ireland and Charles Hurst.

Colin commented, “I had seen the Ring product in loads of motor factors, and when I asked about it, I always got a positive response. Also, Ring has invested heavily in workout vans, kitted out with its best selling products, available to our customers for trade shows and workouts. When I saw those vans, I knew I wanted to be a part of the company, as these tools make my job a lot easier. I also like the idea of being part of a worldwide company like OSRAM.”

Colin added, “I really like the company’s innovation. Ring is not afraid to take risks, even if they don’t pay off all the time, be that in products, or people or indeed new ways of selling. I really enjoy the fact that I’m part of an organisation that is open to new ideas and will act on them if it believes it may be a success. Also, our product offering and quality for our price point really separates us from our competitors.”
