Custom Denning has continued to build its UK team with the appointment of Jamie MacIntosh as Business Development Manager.
He brings almost 20 years’ experience in coach and bus, with an extensive background in sales and business development across the UK sector. Mr MacIntosh will play what the Australian manufacturer describes as a key role in building its customer base here via engagement with operators and authorities and supporting market expansion.
Arrival of Mr MacIntosh follows the earlier naming of Antony Goozee as CEO Europe, and Martin West as Head of Sales and Commercial.
The further appointment “reflects Custom Denning’s commitment to building a genuine, sustainable presence in the UK – backed by a commercial team that understands operator requirements and is responsive to their needs,” the builder says.
Custom Denning continues to prepare to launch its latest-generation Element 2.2 battery-electric bus at Euro Bus Expo at the NEC Birmingham on 3-5 November. Visitors to the show will have chance to experience the new vehicle first-hand.
It notes how UK strategy majors on a customer-first principle and maximising vehicle uptime. The latter is described as “the number one priority,” shaping everything from vehicle design and manufacturing to aftersales support and commercial engagement.
Speaking about his appointment, Mr MacIntosh says: “I am delighted to be joining Custom Denning at such an exciting time in the UK market. After 19 years in the industry, I understand that operators need more than just a reliable vehicle – they need a manufacturer that is responsive, accessible, and genuinely committed to keeping their fleet on the road.
“That sense of urgency really stood out to me when I learned about Custom Denning’s approach. The focus is firmly on the customer, vehicle uptime, and getting things done. I am looking forward to taking that into the UK market and building strong, long-term relationships with suppliers.”
Mr Goozee has welcomed Mr MacIntosh to Custom Denning, noting: “Jamie brings exactly the experience and customer focus we need as we grow in the UK. Our philosophy is simple – we work for our customers, we act quickly, and we take responsibility. Urgency in everything that we do is paramount to both our success, and our operators’ success.
“The focus is firmly on the customer, vehicle uptime, and getting things done – not bureaucracy. Our ambition is to bring that mentality to the UK market – delivering great buses, backed by a manufacturer that responds when our customers need us.”
