Graysmark has a strong background in sales and marketing in the access sector, having previously held senior positions at LGMG, JCB Access and Genie. Throughout his career, he has successfully grown access businesses by leveraging the strengths of existing and potential dealer networks in the region, said Manitou. 

Before his roles at LGMG and JCB, Graysmark joined Genie in late 2008, after spending two years at Terex Financial Services. He initially served as Divisional Sales Manager for the UK, Ireland, and Benelux, before being promoted to Vice President of Sales for Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Russia in 2009. He held this position until his departure in 2015, when Terex moved its senior executives to Switzerland.

In his new role at Manitou UK, Graysmark will focus on strengthening the company’s dealer network in the UK and Ireland, capitalising on the high quality of the Manitou product range and its dedicated dealer support.

Peter Smyth, Sales Director, commented, “Manitou UK is delighted to welcome Phil into the company. With Phil’s experience and our wide range of access products, we look forward to offering many companies the solutions that the Manitou Group can provide. Phil has a strong track record in the local and global MEWP business, and we are excited about the strong future we will build with him in the driving seat.”
