Meet The Team
Mike Coote
European Sales & Marketing Manager
Mike joined Setco in 2008, with a wealth of sales and marketing experience in the automotive parts market stretching for over 30 years. Mike is responsible for managing all of our sales and marketing activities, and has a personal focus on sales across Western Europe, Eastern Europe, CIS countries and North Africa. When he gets a break from travelling around Europe, Mike claims that the majority of his time outside of work is spent either sleeping or drinking red wine!
Chris Salmon
Research & Development Manager
Chris joined Setco way back in 1994, having previously worked in the paper making industry, and has spent the majority of his time working within research and development. It's therefore fair to say that when it comes to technical support, you're in good hands with Chris. Today, Chris is head of our R&D department and is also on hand to back up our sales team with any technical support as required. Outside of work, you will find Chris supporting local cricket and football teams.
Julian Bodily
Sales Account Manager
Since joining Setco in 2008, Julian has been busily visiting our customers in Wales, the South of England and the Midlands. Julian has been working in the motor trade for over 40 years, having been a trained Commercial Vehicle technician prior to utilising his years of experience to support our Lipe Clutch customers. Outside of work, Julian keeps himself more than busy with walking, fishing and looking after the grandchildren.
Phil Fox
Sales Account Manager
Phil has travelled many miles since joining Setco in 2012, visiting our customers in Scotland and the North of England. Phil joined us with plenty of experience in the industry, having previously spent 10 years working in aftermarket sales for a commercial vehicle dealership. Prior to that, Phil was a professional rugby league player and is still a keen follower of rugby and football.
David Ludlam
Sales Executive
If you have ever made a phone call to our Sales Office, then it’s more than likely that you found a very enthusiastic Dave on the other end of the line. Dave joined Setco in 2010 with a wealth of previous sales and purchasing experience from a range of different industries. Ever since, Dave has been passionately helping our customers with their orders and vehicle application enquiries. Outside of work, David enjoys socialising with friends and family, listening to music and watching football.
Andrew Graham
Sales Executive
Andy joined Setco in 2007, having previously worked in sales and production planning within the textile industry. As well as keeping in touch with customers in the UK, Andy is heavily involved with looking after our oversees customers. From processing orders to arranging shipments, Andy is our logistics guru who will ensure that our products get to our customers anywhere in the world. Outside of work, Andy dedicates his time to both watching the children and watching the football.
Ben Parry
Finance Manager
Ben has been eagerly looking after our accounts since joining Setco in 2003. In his role as Finance Manager, Ben keeps a keen eye on all aspects of the company’s finance. Ben also tells lots and lots of incredibly bad jokes. Outside of work, Ben spends his time sharing his incredibly bad jokes with his young family and with the local junior football team, where he works as a coach.
