As Skoda UK celebrates an impressive year of growth, the manufacturer has appointed Duncan Movassaghi as its new Head of Operations.

Prior to joining Skoda, Duncan, from Warwickshire, held the position of Head of Transformation at Lloyds Pharmacy. Before that he was Products and Marketing Director at Intelligent Finance, held regional sales manager roles at HBoS, and was a business analyst for management consultants McKinsey & Company.

Duncan, who will be overseeing a team of 30 office and field based staff, believes that this is an exciting time to join Skoda. He comments: "I have been extremely impressed with the way that Skoda has transformed its brand and continued to increase market share. The company is a compelling proposition for me in that it has an extremely strong market position yet there is still room for growth."

Robert Hazelwood, Brand Director at Skoda UK, comments: "In Duncan we have a dynamic new member of our senior management team who brings with him vital skills to help meet our ambitious growth targets, while ensuring the brand retains the key attributes it is famed for - engineering excellence, fantastic value for money and exemplary customer service. We wish him every success in the new role."
