S&S Cycle - Howard Kelly Returns
Just a few months after S&S Cycle announced that Charlie Hadayia had returned as Director of Business Development after a 14-year 'walkabout' that had included a spell at Tucker, the band continues to get back together with the return of Howard Kelly as Senior Director of Marketing.
Kelly steps back into the marketing department at S&S Cycle from MiTek, a Berkshire Hathaway Company, where he spent the last six and a half years serving the commercial construction industry in the USA, EU and APAC markets. Kelly was last with S&S from 2004–2009 working on marketing and communications efforts leading up to the S&S 50th Anniversary and a series of engine service manuals.
"We are excited to have Howard back home at S&S Cycle," said Mark Platt, S&S Board Chair. "Howard brings uniquely valuable experience, passion, and excitement to the S&S Team and he is set to play a key role in delivering on our promise of Made-in-America Proven Performance for our customers - keeping them at the center of everything we do."
Kelly commented: "I left S&S saying I wanted a break from the powersports industry, during a season when worldwide economic pressure was impacting our industry's spirit and Comradery. With the next few projects we have lined up, I hope to see that come back. I must thank S&S Board Members Brett Smith and Mark Platt for showing me what I was missing and encouraging me to get back to my real passion."
Kelly's return to S&S Cycle, along with other recent organizational changes, "further bolsters the company plans to continue its legacy of creating industry leading marketing programs for insiders and customers. New products and core products that have driven the success seen over the last six decades will get plenty of attention and there may just be a few events that remind the industry just how much reach S&S brings."
