KIA Aftersales Director Hamish McCowan has retired after 23 years with the company, taking a well-earned rest from his four-hour round-trip to the office every day.

With over 40 years of experience in the motor industry where, before Kia, McCowan worked in a number of roles at Saab, Toyota, Volvo, Porsche and Mazda. He joined Kia in 2000 as Regional Business Manager and three years later became Head of After-Sales.

Since becoming After-Sales Director in 2005, McCowan has created a huge legacy of achievements and the department is continuously exceeding targets and making new sales records.

Paul Philpott, President and CEO at Kia said: “Hamish has been a central and vital part of the tremendous partnership we have built with our dealer network. His experience and professionalism are unrivalled in this industry and we shall miss him in so many ways.”

McCowan’s replacement will be Chris Lear, moving from his previous role as National After-Sales Manager.
