Experienced Parts executive Glen Crompton joins DAF Trucks

Glen’s remit is to enhance the already successful position of both the DAF and TRP brands in the highly competitive CV aftermarket sector. With the support of the DAF Dealer network – the UK truck industry’s largest and arguably best dealer network – including a growing network of dedicated TRP Shops, Glen is tasked with developing an accessible product range delivered through innovative digital marketing tools and promotions. For mixed fleets, Glen’s focus will be placing the TRP brand front-of-mind.

With 24 years’ experience in Independent Aftermarket and 13 years specifically in the commercial vehicle sector, Glen has enjoyed success at various levels of senior management, notably with Brown Brothers, Partco and Unipart-owned Truck & Trailer Components (TTC).

“I’m incredibly excited to join the UK’s market leading truck marque,” said Glen, “and I’m looking forward to bringing my experience to the business. I have noticed immediately that everyone in the organisation is pointing in the same direction and committed to exceeding the expectations of our customers. I am also eager,” he added, “to draw on the strength, depth and experience of the domestic and international PACCAR Parts teams to develop DAF Trucks’ already impressive Parts proposition.”

“We were very keen to secure the services of someone with Glen’s credentials,” said DAF Trucks’ Parts Sales & Marketing Director, Trevor Mitchell, “his incisive knowledge of the Independent Aftermarket is a key asset and one we hope to exploit as we continue to develop our Parts offering – especially our TRP all-makes brand. Glen’s career-to-date ticks all the boxes and we’re delighted he’s on-board with us.”
