Kumho Tyre Strengthens UK TBR Team
Kumho Tyre (UK) Ltd has strengthened its sales and management team with a senior promotion and a new appointment.
Tony McHugh has been promoted to Sales Director (TBR), having previously worked with the company in a consultative role, while highly experienced industry professional Stewart Little joins the business as TBR Sales Manager.
Stewart Little brings more than 40 years of experience within the tyre industry, having started his career in 1983 and worked his way through the trade from branch level. His background spans all key areas of the sector, including retail, wholesale and sales management, giving him a broad and practical understanding of the commercial tyre market.
Prior to joining Kumho, Stewart spent a combined eight years with Giti, including five years in wholesale and most recently as UK Sales Manager. He also brings extensive experience from a 26-year career with National Tyres, further strengthening Kumho’s expertise within the TBR sector.
Commenting on his appointment, Stewart Little said: “I am extremely proud to be joining Kumho Tyre. It is a brand with a well-established reputation as a premium mid-range manufacturer, offering reliable performance and outstanding value to both dealers and end users. Kumho is a name that needs very little introduction, and I am looking forward to contributing to the continued success and enthusiasm of the team.”
“Having spent my career working across all areas of the trade, I’m excited to bring that experience into the business at a time of such positive growth.”
Alongside Stewart’s appointment, Tony McHugh’s promotion to Sales Director (TBR) reflects his contribution to the development of Kumho’s truck tyre strategy and the company’s confidence in the strength of its expanding TBR portfolio.
Welcoming both announcements, Richard Lyons, Managing Director at Kumho Tyre (UK) Ltd, said: “We are delighted to congratulate Tony on his promotion to Sales Director (TBR) and to welcome Stewart to the Kumho team. These appointments demonstrate our ongoing investment in people as we continue to strengthen our position in the truck tyre market.”
