International Motors has appointed Kevin Green as Head of Network Development, responsible for franchise representation of the company’s growing portfolio of automotive and LCV brands.
Green has more than 25 years’ industry experience including with premium German brands and, since joining IML in 2021, in operational and regional management positions with Subaru UK.
He said: “I’m excited to lead network development in a period of such potential for both IML and the retail industry, across our exciting portfolio of both current and new marques.
“IML’s vision is to develop and diversify the businesses of our existing dealer partners while exploring opportunities for representation of IML’s established, emerging and future brands.”
Green’s team includes Ben Williams, who is promoted to Network Development Manager, and Julie Smith as Franchise Operations Co-ordinator.
Both have been instrumental in building IML’s XPENG retail network as well as appointing new Mitsubishi sales dealer partners in readiness for the new Outlander PHEV and L200 pickup arriving in the UK this year.
IML also represents Subaru in the UK and Ireland; Isuzu in the UK; GWM UK and the recently announced FOTON LCV range.
William Brown, International Motors’ Managing Director UK and Ireland, said: “We are delighted to welcome Kevin to his new role as we sadly say goodbye to Chris Graham. Chris has been with IML for 28 years, during which time he has made a significant and lasting contribution to our business.
“An important member of our senior management team, Chris has helped shape many of the franchised networks that we represent as a distributor in the UK and Ireland. We thank him for his outstanding dedication and commitment to our operations and our dealer partners, with whom he has worked so closely.
“As we say goodbye to Chris, Kevin takes on his new role at an important moment for IML and all the brands it represents. Kevin brings substantial manufacturer experience across sales and aftersales and will head the growth and consolidation of our dealer networks at a pivotal time for International Motors.”
