Škoda UK has appointed Philip Taylor as its new Head of Network Sales, effective 1 November.
Taylor has worked at Volkswagen Group UK for 16 years. His most recent position was as Head of Product and Planning at Volkswagen Passenger Cars UK, during a time in which the brand became number one in the UK for new car sales. He also played a leading role in the launch of the all-electric ID. range.
Taylor said: “I’m very excited to join the Škoda team. The brand has developed impressively over the years, and is now a major player in the UK market with a very strong, award-winning model line-up.
“I am really looking forward to working with the UK team and its retailer partners to help continue its successful momentum.”
Taylor will replace Kevin Rendell, who leaves for Volkswagen UK to take up the same role of Head of Network Sales.
Škoda UK Brand Director, Matthew Bowden said: “I’m very pleased to welcome Phil to the Škoda UK team. He will bring a wealth of experience built from his varied roles across the Group, which I am sure will prove invaluable as we move into the next stage of our growth plans.”
