FORD Retail has announced the appointment of Stuart Kerr as CEO, following the departure of Chris Hayden.
Kerrr joins Ford’s wholly owned dealer group from Volvo where he was regional president for Volvo Car Corporation in Europe. He has also overseen the successful launch of Volvo distributorship and dealership operations in South Africa.
Ford of Europe vice president marketing sales and service, Roelant de Waard, said: ‘Stuart is the right person to take on this important industry role and to build on the work done by Chris Hayden in profitably developing Ford Retail into a customer-focused business worthy of our best-ever range of products.’
Angus Brown, who has been the Ford Retail acting CEO for the last few months, will return to his post as Ford Retail Parts Operations Director.
