“My aim is to build on that success by continuing to roll out products from our exciting new OMODA and JAECOO vehicle ranges, supporting our growing dealer network, and engaging with customers in both the fleet and retail sectors.
“We are committed to delivering innovation, high-quality vehicles, and a first-class ownership experience to our UK customers.”
