Network Automotive has appointed Gary Stanyon as its new business development manager for the Bosch Car Service Network, which is a new position.

Stanyon will be helping to push Network Automotive’s new profit clinic at independent garages across the UK which aims to provide training, advice and practical support to more than 500 independent garages across the UK.

He said: “We believe that our new “profit clinic” concept will help these highly professional independent garages grow their businesses still further. I’m looking forward to getting out and getting involved.”

Stanyon has been working in the motor industry for nearly three decades, having become apprentice technician in 1980 and worked his way through a wide variety of managerial roles with VAG UK and Nissan GB, as well as being a Peugeot dealer principal and running his own used car business.

Most recently, he has been an account manager at Accident Exchange.
