Scania NZ has appointed Thomas McDonagh as its new dealer director north.

McDonagh comes from his previous role of branch manager at Scania Rotorua, which he held for nearly four years, and replaces Mark Wright in the dealer director north position.

The role is responsible for managing the four Scania branch managers located at Whangārei, Auckland, Waikato and Rotorua, and in particular ensuring the branch network has the resources required to deliver Scania’s premium customer-focus on parts and servicing.

“I am very motivated about my new leadership role within the Scania NZ team. The good thing is after working alongside the Branch Managers for a number of years I’m very familiar with the dynamics of  the team and I look forward to getting the very best out of my high-quality colleagues so we can  continue to do our very best for our clients,” said McDonagh.

Scania NZ has one other dealer director role (dealer director south) held by Kelly Henshaw, who covers the remaining five branches located across southern and central New Zealand.

Dealer directors are part of Scania NZ’s executive management team, reporting directly to managing director, Victor Carvalho.
