Midland Tyre Group has made two senior leadership changes to its leadership team that the well-known Irish truck and off-road tyre supplier described as “pivotal”. Chris Parle, the company’s current chief operating officer (COO), is transitioning to the role of group commercial director, with a focus on training and regional business development. At the same time, Neil O’Gorman has been appointed as COO and is said to bring “extensive experience in driving operational excellence”.
