Fantic, the Italian motorcycle and e-bike manufacturer, is stepping up growth of its UK dealer network with the appointment of multiple regional sales managers.
The first to join the sales team are Mike Clark and Daniel Gaby, covering the South East and South West respectively.
Both are seasoned professionals within the cycle industry and say they are looking forward to introducing the Fantic brand to independent dealers within their areas.
Dean Clements, Fantic UK managing director, said: “We are delighted to have two well-seasoned industry professionals joining our team. Fantic produces an outstanding range of models and it deserves a UK dealer network to match.
“We will continue to recruit further account managers to give a strong regional presence within the IBD network.”
Established in 1968, Fantic is well known in the motorcycle world, especially in competitive off-road disciplines.
With numerous world titles behind them, Fantic still competes on the world stage in Enduro and MX, as well as at events such as Dakar and more recently Moto2.
Located in the Veneto region of Italy, Fantic has tapped into the cycle talent that exists in North East of the country.
Since 2015, the brand has recruited a team of cycle design engineers to join its research and development department to launch an ever-growing range of e-bikes.
