Phil Cornelius moves from Marathon Coach, Inc. to Newell Coach Corporation.

Open letter from Phil Cornelius below:

January 15, 2012

In December of 1994 I began an exciting, new career with Marathon Coach, Inc. having no idea what the future would bring. In retrospect, accepting that opportunity was unquestionably, a good decision. The past seventeen years represent accomplishments I would have never thought possible. Achieving the status of cumulative sales leader 1998 -2011, selling over 500 luxury coaches totaling over three hundred million dollars would not have been possible without the support of talented and devoted fellow associates and a gracious base of clients, many of whom are now good friends. I'm grateful for those years and appreciate my Marathon Coach associates, clients and friends, Prevost Car, Inc., and the Shoellhorn family, for their contribution to a rewarding career with Marathon Coach. I wish only the best for them all while navigating through these challenging times.

The luxury motorcoach landscape has changed significantly in recent years. Higher production costs, lower volume, and constraints to innovation within the bus conversion industry combined with near elimination of high end class A motorhome manufacturing has resulted in greater opportunities for one luxury motorcoach company. Newell Coach Corporation has long been a recognized leader within the luxury motorcoach industry. While other segments of the industry have retracted, Newell Coach has increased their market share. The ability to produce elegant, high quality, innovative products while controlling costs has allowed Newell Coach to offer a logical, value packed alternative to bus conversions and Class A motorhomes.

Theodore Roosevelt once said, "It is not often that a man can make opportunities for himself. But he can put himself in such shape that when or if the opportunities come he is ready." After a year of carefully researching the market and being aware of Newell Coach's strength, stability, product development, and expanding market share, I accepted an opportunity to begin a new career with Newell Coach Corporation. It is exciting to be part of this industry leading organization. I look forward to forming many new relationships and continuing those relationships previously created through this unique industry devoted to a lifestyle of fun!
