Ex-Dutton Forshaw man joins John Grose
Alister Leith will be appointed group managing director of East Anglia group John Grose on April 7. He will replace Mike Kiff who retires on April 25 after six years as MD.
Leith was previously main board director at Dutton Forshaw with responsibility for the group’s seven Dovercourt Ford outlets and the four Mercedes-Benz outlets in Kent.
He already lives in Suffolk, so is ideally placed to take control of the John Grose business. John Grose chairman Ian Twinley, also regional vice- president, Europe, at Group 1 Automotive, described Leith’s appointment as “a terrific find for us”.
