Bio
Finlay Wood
While working for Leigh in UK Sales at JCB, I was continually impressed with his drive and passion for the job. He was always looking for new ways to drive Sales and assist the dealer network in achieving their goals. 2007 was a record year for UK Sales and I am sure it is in part due to Leigh's enthusiasm and professionalism.
Max Lytle MA
Despite only working briefly for Leigh, he is undoubtedly a bright and perceptive manager who will be a great asset in any team.
