Ian Rawlings appointed new Bailey Chief Operations Officer

Bailey has announced that Ian Rawlings is the company’s new Chief Operations Officer.

Since joining over 20 years ago, Ian has helped the motorhome manufacturer grow its Bailey Retailer Network to over 45 motorhome retailer outlets, release its first campervans in the form of the Bailey Endeavour B62 and B64, and steer the company through both Brexit and the Covid pandemic.

Now, as Chief Operations Officer, Ian will continue as Sales Director, as well as overseeing the Operations and People aspects of the company.

The new role has been created to help the business to meet the requirements of the market and will include “a major drive for new improvements to both people and processes throughout the manufacturing facilities”.

Managing Director Nick Howard will continue overseeing Finance, Product Development, Marketing, PRIMA Leisure and Aftercare.

Nick said: “Ian is an extremely experienced and hugely respected member of our Senior Management Team, and his promotion to the new position of Chief Operations Officer is well deserved.”
