Honda’s marine crew expands

by Sandman PR on 7 Jul 2008 Honda Australia (MPE) – Marine Division has taken onboard two new recruits who are sure to strengthen the company’s position as a leading force in advanced technology and environmental efficiency. Chris Schultz has joined the team as National Marine Manager and Rod Day will continue his loyal service to Honda in his newly-appointed role of Business Development Manager of the Marine Division.

Before commencing work with Honda, Schultz fulfilled the role of National Sales Manager, Car Care Division for Valvoline – a role that saw him working closely with a team of Territory Managers nationally, supporting and developing the national dealer channel.

With an active interest in boating as well as a number of watersports, Chris is an exciting addition to Honda’s dynamic team. He is looking forward to an action-packed period for the company in coming years as he plays an instrumental role in the release of several new engine models in the near future.

Rod Day joined Honda 17 years ago and was one of Honda MPE’s original staff when it was formed in 1991. Since then, Rod has filled many positions within Honda’s motorcycle and PWC division including Territory Manager, National Product Manager and Business Development Manager.

After four relocations and countless trips around Australia and overseas as one of Honda’s dedicated motorcycle specialists, Rod has now taken the plunge into the Marine Division as Business Development Manager.

With his intimate company knowledge and passion for all things Honda, Rod will develop Honda’s Marine Division in a way that will support the industry as a whole and continue the success of Honda’s unrivalled consumer support operations.

Chris and Rod, together with the Honda Marine team are looking forward to working with their dealer network, manufacturers and customers to grow the division, as Honda leads the way into a cleaner and greener new era.
