Charles Martin has been made Citroen’s new sales director for the UK and will start in the top role in January.

He has been with Groupe PSA UK since 2003 when he joined Citroen UK as an aftersales commercial manager.

Martin is currently director of aftersales operations for Groupe PSA UK, overseeing aftersales activities across the Peugeot, Citroen, DS Automobiles and Vauxhall brands.


He has held a number of sales roles during his career, including time as a sales manager with Robins & Day and at an independent retailer.

In his new job, Martin will be responsible for increasing Citroen UK’s sales volumes and market share, as it embarks on its recently announced Citroen Advance UK mid-term plan.
