This combination of hands on experience & knowledge of systems & part numbering means that she's the go-to person in Atkinson Vos for any parts queries.
Cassia helps customers from all over the world get their Mogs up and running as quickly as possible by finding the best available parts options and getting them shipped out as quickly as she can. If you need a part, Cass is your gal!
Paul Harris

If you give us a call and press Option 2 for Sales then you'll most likely speak to Paul.
With a background in sales, Paul loves a good barter and a bit of banter and has a great rapport with our customers!
Paul joined us in 2016 and since then, has grown a great understanding and knowledge of the Unimog, which enables him to help our customers, new and old and from across the globe, get the right Mog for their needs.
A key part of Paul's role at AV is to keep our website and social media accounts up to date with new stock, workshop updates and anything Unimog so you guys know what we're up to here.
If your Mog has been up to anything exciting or you have some good snaps of it at work, send them over to Paul. He loves a good Mog story!
