APS Welcome’s Kirk Monger with Georgia & Chris
On this episode of the APS Podcast, Chris and Georgia sit down with Kirk Monger, the newest member of the APS team and our new Director of Sales & Business Development for North America. Kirk’s no stranger to the auto recycling industry—he’s spent decades leading sales teams at Hollander and has been watching APS grow from the sidelines. Now, he’s officially on board, and we couldn’t be more excited!
We chat about why Kirk made the move, what excites him about APS, and how having him on the ground in the U.S. will help us better serve our customers. Plus, we touch on AI innovations, the power of Video Wizard, and an exciting new project—our APS Voice Assistant (Ari)—which is already in beta testing.
And, of course, the URG Bus Tour gets a mention! Kirk and Georgia have been mapping out the locations, and we’ll be announcing them soon. If you’re keen to hop on, don’t wait—it’s always a sellout!
Big things ahead for APS, and we’re stoked to have Kirk along for the ride. Welcome to the team, mate!
