132: Chris Bunce of Iveco: People, Purpose, and a Load of Old Balls

Listen Later
This week JC and Sara (stepping in with her best Paul Kirby impression!) are joined by the brilliant Chris Bunce, Network Sales Manager for Iveco’s Light Business Line in the UK and Ireland.  

Chris takes us behind the job title to share a refreshingly open and often hilarious conversation about:  

  • His 30-year journey through the motor trade, from Yellow Pages cold calls to leading network sales at Iveco.  
  • The delicate transition from diesel to electric, the challenges for dealer networks, and why education and driver engagement are critical to EV adoption.  
  • Iveco’s innovative line-up, including the E-Daily with its electric power take-off (EPTO) and the incoming Jolly and Super Jolly models.  
  • The importance of people-first leadership, mentoring, and building a legacy for the next generation in the commercial vehicle industry.  
  • Life lessons from football, cricket, golf—and raising a family of four with six grandchildren!  
    • From heartfelt reflections on resilience and mental health to light-hearted tales of EV rallies, strongman brand ambassador Adam Bishop, and even Driving Miss Daisy moments on the M40, this episode is packed with insight, humour, and inspiration.  

    If you love stories that go beyond the job title and showcase the humans powering the EV revolution, this one’s for you.
