The former UK sales representative for Midtronics, the American battery test and management equipment maker, has formed his own company to handle the products.

Neil Smith, who has been involved in automotive aftermarket supply since 1978, has spent the last four years helping to develop the Midtronics portfolio.

“The time is right for a change of relationship with Midtronics,” says Smith. “Under the new arrangement I believe I will be able to represent the manufacturer more effectively. It also leaves the door open for other products in the future as the new company expands.”
