CANTON, Mich. — Bus climate control system supplier Spheros North America has named Drew Goaley regional sales manager for the southern territory.
Goaley’s experience in the school and transit markets began in 2009. Spheros officials said that he is especially familiar with the southern transit market, having served as the southern regional sales manager for Radio Engineering Industries. Also, he gained knowledge of the Spheros product line while sub-contracting with the company over the past year.
Goaley will also be promoting ACC Climate Control, which is now part of Spheros’ product portfolio.
“Spheros has a reputation of quality manufactured products internationally, and I am excited to bring that same quality to the markets in North America,” Goaley said. “Now, with the addition of the ACC Climate Control product portfolio, Spheros has enhanced their market position for success, and I am excited about our plans for the future.”
Chris Shigley, Spheros North America’s director of sales, added that he has worked with Goaley and has “seen firsthand the gift he has for developing successful business relationships. … We look forward to the new opportunities his dedication to the transit industry will bring Spheros North America and how his focus on customer care will enrich the experience our customers receive every day.”
