Parsons, who is a graduate from Harper Adams University, has been Case IH’s Marketing Manager for Eastern Europe and the Balkans for the last four years.

“It was a real eye-opener, but I always planned to come back home. I am really looking forward to working face-to-face with customers again,” Parsons said.

Meanwhile, Case IH aims to strengthen its customer relations team even further with the appointment of a second Commercial Business Unit Manager.

Robin McArd will cover Scotland as well as the north and east of England with the help of three others. McArd will also remain as Case IH’s Harvester Sales Manager.

These new appointments will help to improve the customer and dealer relationship with Case IH, according to Marketing Manager for Case IH UK and the Republic Of Ireland Charles Blessley.

“These new roles ensure that as a company we get closer to our customers and dealers, and ensure we are even more responsive to customer needs,” Blessley said.
