“After two years at SEAT UK, it’s a very different landscape: a whole host of new models have come to market, with the launch of the new Leon – now a family of three – plus the CUPRA and X-PERIENCE models. The ‘leonisation’ of the brand has meant business profitability has improved and our network is seeing the rewards. The future for them is very positive, with a new look CI refresh currently on roll out to our dealers, and a great product pipeline,” said outgoing director Neil Williamson.
“I wish Richard all the best in his new role, and am sure that his time back in the UK will be tremendously successful. He has a fantastic team to work with and there are great plans ahead for the brand.”
