GROUP Board Director Phil Maddison, a guiding light at Snows Motor Group, is bowing out after 17 years.
During that time he has helped the business grow into a UK top-50 dealership group with a £366m turnover and nearly 1,000 staff.
Maddison joined Snows in July 2002 when it acquired Marshall Rolfe and in 2003 became a Director responsible for the Toyota and Lexus and was key in finding suitable premises for Snows to represent the brands in East Southampton before redeveloping the site at Hedge End.
He also opened Snows’ first Peugeot business in Romsey and oversaw the acquisitions of its Lotus, four Toyota and two Lexus dealerships in Hedge End.
Recently he piloted the redevelopment of the old Hennock Road site in Exeter to a brand new Mercedes-Benz Van Centre and earlier this year oversaw the opening of SARC, Snow’s £1 million Accident Repair Centre in Millbrook.
Maddison said: “I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Snows and I am very proud to have been significantly involved in the design, construction and success of some of the company’s biggest ventures.
“Being involved in the acquisitions of the Marsh Group in Devon and the WKB Group in Hampshire was exciting and challenging, yet immensely enjoyable and it’s hugely rewarding to see those businesses flourishing now.
“As for the future, I can’t imagine not working at all so I intend to seek opportunities to help other businesses in need of specialist input and change management on a consultancy basis.”
