“Paul’s energy, enthusiasm and forceful style have seen him move into this important position,” says Aldo Rodi. “His primary responsibility will be to build on the previous good work done with the Wetherby branch and to continue to develop and grow the network in order to maintain Snap-on’s market leadership position.”
