There is to be a change in the driving seat of Grimsby motorhome manufacturer Auto-Trail.
Dave Thomas is to retire from the business he has spent almost his entire leisure industry career with, handing over to finance director Shane Devoy at the end of February.
The pair have worked together for almost a quarter of a century, with Mr Thomas joining the board in a management buy-out of the business as the design and technical director in 1998. He progressed to joint managing director, and for the past seven years - following Stuart Turpin’s retirement - he has been sole MD.
