Tructyre has appointed Elizabeth Nagel as Managing Director, effective 1 July 2026, placing a Michelin manufacturing transformation leader at the head of one of Britain’s key commercial vehicle tyre service providers. She will lead more than 430 staff focused on reducing tyre-related risk for truck, trailer, bus and coach operators.

A senior move for fleet tyre services

Nagel joins Tructyre from Michelin’s headquarters in Clermont-Ferrand, France, where she is Manufacturing Transformation Officer. In that role, she has been responsible for supporting the global deployment of Michelin Group’s 2030 strategy across its manufacturing operations.

Her appointment gives Tructyre a new leader with experience in industrial transformation, manufacturing performance and cross-border operations. That background is relevant for a business where service consistency, technician deployment and fleet uptime are central to customer value.





The move follows a period of leadership strengthening at Tructyre. Tyre News recently reported on Tructyre’s appointment of Mark Holland as Operations Director, with the former ATS Euromaster senior leader due to join the business in April 2026. Tyre News also reported that Tructyre added Paul Beddows and Mark Evans to its leadership team, while operating from 40 depots across England, Wales and Scotland.

Industrial transformation experience

Before joining Michelin in March 2023, Nagel spent more than a decade at US-based materials science company Corning. Her roles covered manufacturing, innovation and business development across Kentucky, Recent Jersey and North Carolina.

That experience gives Tructyre a Managing Director with a background in large-scale growth initiatives and complex operational change. For fleet customers, the practical test will be how that experience translates into service response, safety performa
