I spent the first 17 years of my working life starting as a vehicle component designer and then as a vehicle test engineer before moving into vehicle system design.
I then moved over to component suppliers serving as sales engineer to the truck manufacturers, so effectively supporting the sort of people that I had been before my change of position. This took me Worldwide (except the USA) including Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand (and even Taiwan) as well as the more usual Europe and Scandinavia.

I saw the demise of British brands such as Bedford, Commer Cars, Leyland Bus, Coles Cranes and parts of Dennis as well as smaller manufacturers of industrial dumpers and the like.
