It’s always great to see side-by-side and ATV manufacturers starting Q2 by hiring additional staff. And if the new hire is related to dealer development, it’s an even more important expansion of the staff. Here’s the scoop from Hisun Motor Corp., USA:

HISUN is definitely on the move and I want to work with the team to develop and grow the Southwest market,” Blackwell said.

In his role, Blackwell will work closely with Tyler Houghton, business development manager. Together, they will work to elevate the service and support of the current dealer base in the region, while cultivating new relationships and expanding the dealer footprint throughout the territory.
