Engine and transmission treatments specialist Forte Lubricants has appointed Ian Perryman as head of business development.

Part of his job will be to work with vehicle manufacturers, but Perryman will also be developing existing treatment programmes to try to improve profit streams for MoT stations, independent garages and franchise dealerships.

“Customers get a complete package of support from us - the best emission and contamination beating treatments in the market, as well as training, marketing and educational literature,” says Perryman, whose automotive background includes key posts with a vehicle parts manufacturer and a national independent factor chain. “We'll help them generate additional service revenues and increase profits.”
