“We would like to officially congratulate Heath as he transitions into his new role as vice president of sales for Beck/Arnley,” said Dull. “Heath has been a part of the Beck/Arnley team for more than two years and during that time he did an excellent job working with our retail and program group customers to help increase their import sales to professional installers. As vice president of sales, Heath will bring his extensive industry experience and knowledge of the foreign nameplate market, as well as his understanding of the competitive environment in the aftermarket and the changing business needs of Beck/Arnley customers, as he continues the tradition of serving our channel partners to get Beck/Arnley brand parts in the hands of end-users – technicians who repair and maintain import vehicles.”
