Honda Australia has
announced changes at the helm of its marine division, with long-term employee
Robert Johnson appointed as Marine Manager.
Effective
immediately, Mr Johnson replaces Chris Schultz who has been promoted to
Assistant General Manager, Power Equipment and Marine.
Honda Australia director Robert Toscano said the
changes were another positive step forward for the marine division.
"Mr Johnson is no stranger to the marine industry,
with 12 years experience within Honda's marine division," Mr Toscano said.
"His previous roles have spanned marketing,
territory manager of three states, to assistant marine manager for the past two
years – a role in which he's really excelled.
"We welcome Robert to his new role and wish him all
the very best, and thank Chris for an exceptional four years as marine manager
during which Honda maintained a very strong position, despite the challenging
market conditions."
Next week's Australian launch of the
much-anticipated Honda BF250, which coincides with Honda Marine's national
dealer conference, will be a fitting farewell to Mr Schultz and a warm welcome
to Mr Johnson.
Mr Schultz said he would maintain his position
on the board with the Boating Industry Association of Victoria and would
continue a level of involvement with Honda's marine division moving forward.
"I've no doubt Robert will do a great job in
his new role as marine manager and I'm looking forward to watching Honda Marine
continue to lead the world in marine engine innovation and performance," Mr
Schultz said.
