·       Bridgestone names Scott Woolley as Senior Manager – Fleet Sales, and Marc Wintle as Senior Manager – Sales.

·       Both appointments underpinned by decades’ experience in the tyre industry.

·       New structure mirrors Bridgestone’s commitment to best serving its customer base.

ADELAIDE, South Australia (26 May 2025) – Australia’s leading tyre company, Bridgestone has announced changes to its sales team structure and the appointment of Scott Woolley and Marc Wintle as respective Fleet Sales and Sales channel leaders under the new format.

Following the recent changes to Bridgestone Australia’s Retail Operations leadership, which saw Roger Saliba move into the General Manager – Retail Operations role, heading up the Bridgestone Select Tyre & Auto network, the new sales team structure was introduced to best serve the differing requirements of Bridgestone’s wholesale customers and fleet business with dedicated Fleet Sales and Sales leads.

Bridgestone Australia Sales Director, Claudio Sodano, said there was an opportunity to further enhance our customer experience by appointing Mr Woolley to oversee the Fleet Sales business, and Mr Wintle to lead Sales.  

“We’re fortunate to have a huge amount of industry experience within our sales team, and our new team structure for our key business to business channels highlights the importance we place on taking the opportunity to better support our customers through the wealth of experience and specific knowledge we have,” Mr Sodano said.

“Both Scott Woolley and Marc Wintle are well known and highly respected within the industry and will complement each other as the respective leads within the newly shaped sales team, as well as continuing to prioritise their customers in everything they do.”

Mr Woolley has been with Bridgestone Australia & New Zealand for nearly 25 years, serving as National Operations Manager – Commercial, National Commercial Manager and National Account & State Sales Manager QLD throughout this time.

Most recently he was responsible for leading Bridgestone Australia’s re-entry into the agricultural product market through the inhouse supply, distribution and technical support of Firestone and Bridgestone branded tractor tyres.

“I’ve built strong relationships with customers over many years, so I understand the pressures they face in keeping fleets on the road in the safest and most efficient way. I’m excited to be heading up the new Fleet Sales team and being able to utilise my experience and knowledge in this space,” Mr Woolley said.

“I’m looking forward to continuing to build on Bridgestone’s industry leading position in the fleet industry space and working with our customers to drive greater efficiency and value for their businesses.”

Mr Wintle has also been with Bridgestone for nearly 25 years, starting off as a sales representative before progressing through the ranks to State Sales Manager VIC/TAS, National Sales Manager – Wholesale Automotive, and most recently as National Sales Manager – Corporate and Fleet.

In his new role as Senior Manager – Sales, Mr Wintle will oversee Bridgestone’s direct sales business through wholesale partners such as Costco, JAX Tyre & Auto and Bob Jane T-Marts, as well as the Bridgestone Service Centre network throughout Australia.

“The relationship Bridgestone has with its wholesale partners is one of the reasons we are Australia’s most trusted tyre brand, and part of the reason that more cars and trucks on our roads are on Bridgestone than any other brand,” Mr Wintle said.

“I’m honoured to now head up this important area of the business to continue to support our partners with the products and support to best serve their customers,” he added.
