Brunswick Automotive Professionals, Mobility Division (BAMP) expands mobility product offerings, appoints Sales Manager and General Manager.

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 30, 2006 -- Brunswick Automotive Professionals, Mobility Division (BAMP) owners Bob and Len Schickler announced today that their dealership is an authorized seller of Vantage Mobility International (VMI) mobility products. VMI manufactures, markets and services a complete line of high-quality wheelchair accessible vans, platform lifts and scooter lifts for the physically challenged.

“Our business has grown to the point where we needed to expand our product offerings to meet our customers’ and their care givers' requirements as well as their expectations. Our focus is to help our physically challenged customers get back on the road. Whether they’re driving or riding in a handicap accessible vehicle, it is critical that they are properly fitted to their vehicle or adapted driving equipment. Similar to the way that they would be to fitted to a wheelchair, scooter or prosthetic device,” said Bob Schickler.

Len Schickler added, “Not all our customers can comfortably fit into or want a minivan. Some are looking for a larger vehicle. VMI offers the Tuscany Ford E250 and E350 in a variety of models that range from basic to loaded with options. The VMI product line serves as a compliment to our Braun Entervan line of Chrysler, Dodge, GM and Toyota minivans, and wheelchair/scooter lift products.”

"Brunswick recognizes that VMI's broad product line will be a powerful tool for them to serve all of their customer's mobility needs. We are very pleased to have Brunswick as a full-line dealer partner," said David Eaton, Vice President Technical Services, Vantage Mobility International.

BAMP also announced the addition of Roger Keil as Sales Manager and the promotion of Diane Avellini, Mobility Sales Specialist to General Manager, Mobility.

Mr. Keil stated, “After thirty years working for the Wintrode Family at The Causeway Family of Dealerships I have been asked to join the mobility team at BAMP. I look forward to helping Len and Bob continue to build one of the most caring, sensitive and consumer friendly dealerships I have ever had the pleasure of being associated with in my forty years in sales. I look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. Please stop in and say hello, give me a call to say hello or visit us at the NY Metro Abilities Expo April 21-23.”

With over 11 years of management and automotive mobility experience, Ms. Avellini brings to the position of General Manager a depth of knowledge and experience that will serve her well in the highly competitive mobility market. “Brunswick Mobility will continue to be a major player in the adaptive equipment and mobility marketplace. I’m honored to follow in Bob's and Len’s footsteps to further develop our market presence. I’m also thankful for their confidence in my abilities to lead this effort,” says Avellini.
