Overall responsibility
Doosan Industrial Vehicle has announced the promotion of Tim Waples to vice-president and CEO of the company’s expanded UK operations. The new role was confirmed by Dr Keunbae Park, head of Doosan Industrial Vehicle, one of several senior figures who travelled from Korea to attend the company’s UK Vision & Strategy conference.
Waples’ new role gives him overall responsibility for Doosan’s entire UK operations. This includes multi-million pound acquisition Rushlift which added a leading national forklift supply and service business to DIV UK’s core import sales business.
Waples has overseen the initial integration of the two businesses following the completion of the deal in March.
