Jamie Wiseman has joined epyx with a brief to expand HGV use of its 1link Service Network e-commerce platform.

With the title of Business Development Manager, he has a track record in the industry stretching back more than 30 years, having joined Manchester Garages as an HGV technician in 1981.

His subsequent career has seen him hold major roles at Lex Vehicle Leasing and Fleet Technique. Most recently, he has been Engineering Services Manager at Northgate.

Wiseman was the founding chair of the 1link Service Network Customer Forum a decade ago and is one of the most experienced users of the platform in the industry.

He said: “There has been a HGV and plant capability built into 1link Service Network for a couple of years and it has been relatively successful. However, we believe that there is a larger potential market for the platform in this sector who can access the benefits that e-commerce brings to service and maintenance management in terms of lower cost, faster service and more accurate processing.”
