MAHA UK hails professionalism and loyalty of colleague as he reaches 25-year milestone

MAHA UK has paid tribute to its longest-serving member of staff after commemorating his 25-year anniversary.

Cambridgeshire, 25^th August 2022 Louis Tunmore was presented with a personalised trophy, along with driving experiences at Mercedes Benz World, as a thank you for his dedication to the workshop equipment and chassis dynamometer manufacturer.

MAHA UK Managing Director, Neil Ebbs, said: “Louis has been an exceptional colleague. He is the epitome of professionalism, dependability and enthusiasm; he always travels the extra mile for both the company and its customers – a willingness that remains as strong as ever. We are incredibly fortunate to have him on our staff.”

Louis’s MAHA story

Louis’s MAHA UK career officially begun on the 7^th May 1997, with the registration of MAHA UK Limited. This was the culmination of weeks of planning and discussions with MAHA GmbH’s owner and management, with the new UK subsidiary beginning its trading just three-and-a-half weeks later.

Reflecting on a “manic” preparation period at MAHA UK’s King’s Lynn premises, which later moved to its current purpose-built headquarters in Wisbech over Christmas 1999, Louis revealed the first tasks were to paint floors and buy a kettle! These were in preparation for the first delivery of workshop equipment and welcoming customers for demonstrations.

He said: “I was initially employed as the company secretary, as, back then, a UK Limited Company had to employ two ‘officers’. Fully invested in the future of MAHA UK and prepared to do whatever it took to make the company ‘tick’, my journey began in telesales. A colleague and I called potential customers to make them aware of our existence and raise awareness of the full range of products we were offering.”

Over time, Louis took on other roles within the business: equipment installation, before progressing to service manager and, latterly, to dynamometer specialist – the last of which he continues to perform and excel at today. He also maintains his garage equipment sales and installation role in and around East Anglia.

The variety of work is what continues to inspire him every day and is one of the main reasons for staying loyal to MAHA UK.

He explained: “MAHA UK allows me to do a bit of everything – no two days are the same! – whether that’s selling or installing a new brake tester, headlamp aligner, vehicle lift or working alongside our ever growing network of dynamometer customers.

“The company has always provided me with autonomy too – I’ve greatly appreciated that during the last 25 years. What’s more, I believe in what MAHA does; we offer an outstanding range of equipment and excellent customer service, as well as have a strong ethos, and I truly believe that we’re the best we can be.”
