David Spear Commercials has expanded its senior team with the appointment of Richard Edwards as Sales & Advertising Executive, marking a key addition to the business following its transition to employee ownership earlier this year.
Effective from 1 October 2025, Edwards brings more than a decade of experience in sales, customer service, and B2B business development, joining the Ebbw Vale-based commercial vehicle specialist from the golf and travel industries.
Edwards began his career with Wales Golf Holiday, the largest golf tour operator in Wales, where he spent 13 years managing bespoke golf travel packages for clients across the UK and overseas.
In 2024, he joined Great Days Golf, one of David Spear Commercials’ sponsorship partners, where his commercial expertise helped the company secure seven World Golf Awards for Best Inbound Tour Operator, recognising excellence in customer experience and service delivery.
In his new role, Edwards will support both new and used vehicle sales, lead on digital advertising and listings, and work closely with the wider sales team to achieve performance targets across unit sales, finance, and warranty products. He will also take an active role in enhancing customer experience and maintaining the company’s strong online reputation.
Founder David Spear said the appointment reflects the company’s continued focus on people and performance.
“He said: We’re delighted to welcome Richard to the team. His B2B knowledge, industry insight, and proven sales expertise will add real strength to our operation, supporting our continued focus on customer experience and performance.”
Edwards said joining the business was a natural step after working with the brand through Great Days Golf.
He said: “I was ready for a new challenge and having worked with the David Spear brand through Great Days Golf, I already knew the company’s reputation for quality and integrity. The move to Employee Ownership earlier this year really appealed to me — it’s inspiring to join a business where every employee has a voice and a stake in shaping its future.”
His appointment follows David Spear Commercials’ move to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) in July 2025, a milestone that marked a new era for the company. The addition of Edwards to the team underscores the firm’s ongoing investment in talent and its commitment to collaboration and sustainable growth.
