Cummins names new director

Neil Harrison has been named as the new marine director for Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) at enginebuilder Cummins. Working in close co-operation with the Cummins distributor network, Mr Harrison will be responsible for all commercial marine activities for the Engine Business Unit within EMEA, including business development and support.

He will be located in Daventry, UK and will report directly to Geoff Conrad, marine business general manager.

“Being new to the commercial marine business, I am excited about getting to know our customers and their business in this specialised market sector, recognising the difficulties that we are all facing at the present time. I am looking forward to working with our customers to help us all succeed both in the short and long term,” said Mr Harrison.

“A key part of this is to ensure Cummins is organised and positioned to provide the support expected now and in the future. We must ensure that we have a trained and capable regional marine team that is cohesive, effective and responsive.”

Mr Harrison joined Cummins in 1986 as an engineering graduate after earning a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from Glasgow University. Over the next two decades, he worked in a variety of service and marketing roles in the automotive, agriculture, construction and industrial markets, before taking on this latest role. MP
