GT Bicycles bolsters UK & international teams with two new recruits

GT Bicycles has expanded its UK and International operations with two new appointments, with Ash Clark and Carly Forward joining the team.

Ash Clark reunites with GT after previously working with the brand for over 17 years. Taking on a new global role, heading up GT’s International Sales efforts, Ash brings a deep knowledge and passion for product, and great experience in sales management on both a local and international level. Ash will, in the immediate term, also develop GT’s business in the South UK region.

Ash commented: “It’s a real honour to work directly for the brand, GT has been a personal favourite ever since I started mountain biking nearly 30 years ago and I am excited to join the team. Everyone has a GT story, mine is that my first every mountain bike was a GT Outpost Trail, a great bike to get into riding back in the day. GT is gathering momentum, and we welcome dealers to get on board with this iconic brand.”

Carly Forward joined the UK team as UK Sales Administrator.  Carly was previously Key Account administrator at CSG UK and brings a wide range of expertise and experience to the GT team, as well as many years of working with the brand. Carly is a keen mountain biker, specifically buying a house just riding distance to the local trails and has competed in the Megavalanche race in France.

Carly commented: “I am hugely excited to join the GT team. GT is an innovator, not afraid to challenge the norm and everyone at GT has incredible passion for the brand which I am proud to be part of.”

“Adding Ash and Carly shows our commitment to UK dealers and our ambition to grow the brand,” said UK Sales Manager Josh Whiting. “Carly will support dealers’ day to day, offering a constant point of contact and Ash will work with the southern dealer network while developing international sales. Along with Clive Gosling as our Marketing resource, we’re building a formidable team to support the UK market needs.”

Last year, GT Bicycles launched two all new bikes represent a significant new beginning for the brand, with the Sensor and Sensor ST the first GT bikes introduced by Pon Bike Performance (PBP).
