Schaeffler Vehicle Lifetime Solutions UK has appointed Ann-Marie Dean to the dual role of National Account Manager and Schaeffler Vitesco Product Specialist.
Ann arrives with more than 20 years of experience across key sectors of the automotive industry, having most recently served as Country Sales Manager for Dayco UK.
In her new post, she will serve as the primary contact for all incoming Schaeffler Vitesco business, providing product guidance and strategic support to customers and the internal UK sales team.
On the commercial side, Ann is tasked with expanding sales across Schaeffler’s national accounts, building new opportunities alongside strategic and specialised distribution partners, and managing relationships across key industry stakeholders.
“Joining an automotive powerhouse like Schaeffler is an incredible opportunity and my new position is a great mix of product know-how and key account management,” said Ann. “What excites me most about working with Schaeffler, apart from the people, is the rich heritage in the automotive sector and the strong original equipment pedigree that translates directly into aftermarket quality and reliability.”
She added that Schaeffler’s dedication to technical support and complete repair solutions remains a major differentiator for technicians on the tools:
“Schaeffler transfers its OE engineering expertise into complete repair solutions for the aftermarket, as well as technical support for workshops in the form of the REPXPERT programme,” she said. “This means we are not simply supplying replacement components, we are using our understanding of the whole vehicle system to make complex repairs easier, more sustainable and more reliable for our customers.”
