JLG appoints new Middle East sales director

Aerial work platform and telehandler specialist JLG Industries has appointed Ian Hume as its new Sales Director for Emerging Markets based in Dubai.

Hume will lead all market development initiatives for the MEA region and will report directly into Jonathan Dawson, JLG’s Senior Director of Sales Europe, Middle East, Africa & Russia.

“We are very excited to have Ian joining the JLG team within the Middle East,” said Dawson. “JLG and Ian share a common passion on delivering customers premium quality product and service. With Ian on board we will continue to set the benchmark for our industry and beyond.”

Prior to joining JLG, Ian started his career in the UK and after 2 years had the opportunity to enter the Powered access arena working for Manlift Group in Dubai where he worked for seven years in several sales management roles. His most recent employer was Climax Portable Machine tools where he worked as Key Account Manager for the MEA region.

He replaces Ewan Macangus, Director of Sales Middle East and Africa, who retires at the end of June 2017 after more than 35 years with the company. Joining JLG in 1981, Ewan has been based in Dubai since 2008 and has been instrumental in the development of the company’s presence within the MEA region and their market leading position there.

Dawson said: “We wish Ewan the very best for his retirement, through many years of service to JLG Ewan has created and developed the business for JLG in many regions of EMEA from the Nordics to Southern Africa. His legacy to the Access business will live on long after his retirement. JLG wish to thank Ewan for his dedication and professionalism over the 36 years with the company.”
