Custom Denning expands into Europe with new leadership

Australian bus and coach manufacturer Custom Denning is expanding its presence in the UK and European markets through strategic leadership appointments and the upcoming launch of its Element 2.2 electric bus.

Martin West has been appointed as Head of Sales and Commercial, bringing over 30 years of industry experience from previous roles at Scania Great Britain and Alexander Dennis. West joins the company following the appointment of Antony Goozee as CEO Europe, who transitioned from a long tenure at National Express.

The company is establishing its UK and European headquarters at a delivery centre in the East Midlands. The expansion aims to accelerate customer engagement ahead of the official Element 2.2 launch at the Euro Bus Expo 2026. The Element 2.2 features a stainless-steel construction designed for durability and corrosion resistance.
