In a move aimed at strengthening the business and streamlining operations, Volvo Group Trucks UK & Ireland has announced a comprehensive reorganisation of functions at the market company’s head office in Warwick.
The new organisation brings together and merges the current Renault Trucks and Volvo Trucks support functions, whilst maintaining separate commercial functions to represent the interests of both brands in the market.
The changes are being introduced to support a new, multi-brand focussed Renault and Volvo truck sales, aftermarket and marketing organisation serving its dealer networks and its customers in the UK and Ireland market.
Following the appointment of Arne Knaben as Volvo Group Trucks UK & Ireland Managing Director in April, the following management personnel appointments have now been announced: Nigel Butler and Mike Corcoran are Commercial Directors for Renault Trucks and Volvo Trucks brands respectively; aftermarket and customer support will be directed by Tony Davis; Ian Wrench becomes Retail Development Director for both dealer networks; and Amanda Hiatt is the new Marketing Director for Volvo Group Trucks UK & Ireland.
It is planned that the full, multi-brand support teams and organisation will be in place and fully operational by 7 September, 2015.
“I am delighted to be announcing the new, multi-brand focussed organisation,” said Arne Knaben. “I am confident that it will enable us to support our customers even more effectively.”
