Cooper joins the company after a year with Liebherr as an area sales manager. He began his career in 2005 as an apprentice field service engineer at Caterpillar dealer Finning UK. Six years later he moved to Hastings Deering, another large Caterpillar dealership in the UK, as an engineer becoming a reliability supervisor after three and a half years with the company.

In March 2015, he joined Volvo Construction as a service supervisor, and then a mobile service engineer. In 2017, he left to take on a similar role with rental company Gorrel Equipment Solutions leaving for Liebherr three years later.
Cooper said: "I wanted to challenge myself in a new industry that’s different, yet close to my roots. LGMG offers that exciting opportunity, and I look forward to growing in this new direction and entering the access equipment industry. I am also very pleased to be joining the UK team which has impressed me, along the products, and new facility, and I am excited to be working together with such a knowledgeable team. I am looking forward to working with a new customer base. And I am sure we will have many successes together.”
UK sales director Aron Westby added: "We are thrilled to welcome someone with such a solid background to our team. Paul’s enthusiasm, experience, and drive will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our presence in the UK and Ireland markets. Paul's arrival comes at the perfect time as we continue to build on the momentum from our official launch at the start of October."
