Robin Dickeson, the SMMT's commercial vehicle man will retire and leave in mid-April, so the Society needs a new commercial vehicle affairs manager, a champion for the SMMT's 100 or more commercial vehicle members.  Katie Milbourn, Head of Personnel at the SMMT has had some good replies to last week's article but will welcome more.  You'll need to know and be known by the UK commercial vehicle and road transport industries.  You'll also need to be able to speak for the industry to a wide range of audiences.  You should know what makes dealers tick and how to work successfully with other trade associations and with government agencies.  But the ability to tie a bow tie isn't mandatory.  If you think this could be for you, you'll find the details on the SMMT website www.smmt.co.uk; go to 'About' and then 'Vacancies'.  The deadline is 10 February 2010.
