A spokesman for Vauxhall told Motor Trader: “Going forward, the new leadership team will be in a strong position to consider how best to respond strategically to the evolving UK market and start to shape the next successful chapter for the business.

These appointments signal just part of the PACE plan launched by Opel Vauxhall in November 2017 to immediately unleash the Vauxhall performance in the UK and pave the way to a sustainable future

In 2017 the anti-trust authorities gave the go ahead to PSA’s acquisition of GM’s Opel and Vauxhall business in Europe.
