In a letter to dealers and vendors, Marc McAllister, the recently appointed President at Tucker Powersports, has announced a next stage in his plans to streamline the business.
"We are making changes at Tucker Powersports designed to strengthen our company and make us a better partner for you and your business," he told dealers and vendors.
"Two weeks ago, we announced that we were closing our offices in California and Arizona and moving the product development and purchasing for our Apparel Group and Dragonfire Racing into our Texas office."
On May 15, McAllister went further, announcing "an organizational change which realigns our product management staff and also eliminates two senior level positions - the COO position, which had been held by Danny Anderson, and the CCO [Chief Commercial Officer] position, held by Greg Blackwell.
"We wish Danny, Greg and the small number of other Tucker employees who will not be returning from furlough the best and we thank them for their contributions to our company.
"Our plan is to have employees return to work by mid-June, but obviously this is dependent on the country's success in battling the virus and relaxing stay-at-home orders. We've already seen some positive signs reflected in recent order volume and optimism from our dealers.
"I hope you will see us getting better and stronger with the changes we have made. We will continue to provide great sales programs, great marketing for our products and consistent and efficient purchasing and payment to our suppliers."
