LOOKERS has confirmed the appointment of Andrew Hall to the newly created role of Group Business Development Director complementing a suite of other recent senior management appointments.

The company said the new role would further drive the Group’s growth strategy with a particular focus on electric vehicles and the company’s wider sustainability credentials.

Duncan McPhee, Chief Operating Officer, said: “The automotive industry is undergoing a period of profound change and transition. As Lookers embarks on an exciting, new period of growth and innovation, our ambition is to play a leading role in the sustainability agenda within our industry and beyond, with a particular focus on electric vehicles.

“This new role will be crucial to the Group’s future success in a rapidly changing landscape by challenging people and processes to optimise performance and achieve competitive advantages. A long-standing member of the Lookers team, Andrew lives and breathes our company’s values, making him the right person to lead us on this exciting next phase of our journey.”

A veteran of the company, Hall started working at Lookers as a trainee assistant in the VAG Oldham showroom and was recently working as a Franchise Director. He will head up the group’s strategy on electric vehicles and sustainability.

Hall said: “Having gone from starting my career in a Lookers showroom to becoming a Franchise Director, I am very proud to be given the opportunity to take up this newly created role in what will be a defining period of change and innovation for our company and the wider industry.”

 “Having worked with customers and brands right across the UK for many years, I intend to use my passion and track record for creating an excellent customer experience to ensure they maximise the opportunities that the sustainability and electric vehicle revolution will bring. Whilst the future is electric, our continued growth and success will be because we ensure the needs of our customers are at its heart.”

 Earlier this month, Lookers announced the appointment of Chris Whittaker as Chief People Officer and Paul van der Burgh as a non-Executive Director.
