Ed Smith Retires From VT Hackney
Neal Dixon Promoted to Lead EV Division
Ed Smith, Director of the Emergency Vehicles Division at VT Hackney, retired Dec. 31, 2017. Smith began his career with VT Hackney in 1994 where he has been instrumental in growing the EV business from a relative unknown in the fire industry to being recognized as America’s Rescue Leader.
“I look back with fond memories of days after introduction of the first Hackney recessed roof bodies shown at national trade shows in the late 90’s. That is when our team would hear statements like, ‘Wow that sure doesn’t look like a beer truck.’ I knew right then we had crossed the threshold of acceptance of a conventional beverage body as a revered fire apparatus.”
Neal Dixon has been named General Manager of the Emergency Vehicles Division and will take over leadership responsibilities. Dixon has also been with the Emergency Vehicles Division since 1994 where he began his career out of college as a Product Designer.
“I look forward to continuing the success we have achieved under Ed’s leadership,” says Dixon. “We have a great team and we will continue to push the product into the future as the industry evolves.”
Ed plans to retire to Ocala, Florida where he lived previously, to enjoy outdoor activities, nearby family, and reconnect with the church he served with 25 years ago.
