Arora has over 14 years of experience at Apollo Tyres, beginning his career as a Graduate Engineer Trainee for the company in India in 2008. Since then, he has worked across many areas of the business in India and Europe, most recently as Distribution and Business Development Manager at Apollo Tyres’ European headquarters in the Netherlands.

In addition to overseeing Apollo Tyres’ Distribution Network, Shobhit helped re-introduce the Apollo Tyres brand in Europe following its acquisition of Vredestein in 2009.

Arora commented; “With more than 14 years of experience of working at Apollo tyres, I have gained a wealth of knowledge about Apollo’s values, culture, products and the people within the company. Working in the European tyre market over the past decade, I have had the opportunity to take on various roles, further honing my skills and building a strong customer network across the European market, including the UK. I am excited about embarking on this fantastic journey with my new role and look forward to working with the enthusiastic team in the UK, which is an important and growing market for the Apollo and Vredestein product brands.”

Eidhof adds: “Arora is a fantastic addition to the UK head office and will play a pivotal role in supporting our goals for the North-West cluster. He brings a wealth of experience that will be invaluable as we push to meet our strategic growth objectives in the UK and across Europe.”
