Goodyear South Africa (SA) has appointed Paul Gerrard as its new MD, starting from May 1.

Gerrard takes over from Richard Fourie, who led the company for two years.

The tyre manufacturer describes Gerrard as a “seasoned leader with deep experience in operations and supply chain gained from the automotive industry in South Africa and abroad”.

Gerrard joined Goodyear in 2010 as group procurement and supply chain director for South Africa.

In 2016 he moved to Dubai, as director of the company’s supply chain function for emerging markets.

In 2020 he returned to South Africa in the role of manufacturing director of the Kariega Plant.

He continues to be based in Kariega for his new role.

“Goodyear SA has a proud legacy of being a key contributor to South Africa’s tyre manufacturing industry,” says Gerrard.

“I look forward to continuing our successful delivery of high-quality tyre products to the drivers in the country.”

Gerrard holds a BCom (Hons) in Business Administration from the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
