David Tripon has joined Avon Tuning HD as a technical sales engineer to support and expand the authorised agent network of agricultural installers.  

The newly created role is part of a strengthening of the in-house Avon Tuning HD team to assist the wider agent network, that now has over 150 agents in the UK and Ireland. David joins Avon Tuning HD after working for Mercedes as a service technician on commercial vehicles.

In his new role, David will be working closely with Avon Tuning HD director, Gareth Jones, to facilitate technical training days for existing and new agents, visiting agent depots to support installs of professional remaps, advising on technical issues, and recruiting new agents.

David comments: “I’ve always been interested in remapping and the technical efficiencies it can offer users. The HD side of the business is growing fast and there is a lot of interest among farmers and contractors. Part of my role will be to support our agents to carry out remaps and identify new areas where our network could be expanded.

“One of my main tasks is to maintain the personal touch Avon has created within its network. As the agent numbers continue to grow, this becomes harder, and we don’t want to lose sight of what it means to provide valuable support to our full network,” concludes David.

David will be based at Avon’s Bristol HQ, but will be regularly travelling to visit agents around the country.
