Commenting on his appointment, Graham said – "I am excited to be offered the challenge to expand MAM's presence and influence within the UK tyre and fast-fit market sector over the coming years. My key aim is to ensure MAM becomes a major software solutions provider to the tyre market, which needs the alternative and innovative I.T. solutions MAM can provide.
