With more than three decades’ experience of the materials handling industry, Mr Reilly has been with TMHUK for over 20 years, during which time he has held leadership positions within the company’s after sales, rental and hand pallet truck departments. He is also a former general manager of Toyota’s operation in Scotland.

“The further development of our rental and used business is a key aspect of our market strategy at TMHUK and I am honoured to be given responsibility for overseeing this growth at such a challenging and exciting time,” said Mr Reilly. “I am deeply passionate about the logistics industry and I look forward to continuing to contribute my experience to benefit Toyota and its customers.”

“Stuart has headed up the TMHUK rental and used business for over 12 months and his appointment as director confirms his hugely positive contribution during this period,” said Nick Duckworth, managing director.

Toyota says it currently has an extensive collection of fully refurbished approved used trucks – including counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks and stackers – available for immediate shipment.
