MAN Truck and Bus has appointed Thomas Hemmerich as MD Simon Elliott’s replacement, ahead of the latter’s departure in January.
Hemmerich, who will assume the role on 1 February 2017, is the MD of MAN Truck and Bus Austria, and has worked for the company since 2003.
He has formerly headed up MAN in Germany and worked as regional head of sales for Africa.
Hemmerich said: “I am looking forward to working in the UK and I relish the challenges that lie ahead.
“It is a fantastic opportunity to lead MAN Truck & Bus UK, there is huge potential here and I know I will be building on a strong platform. The launch of the van, the MAN TGE, will bring more to our range and it is a very exciting time to be joining the company.”
Elliott added: “I am delighted to be handing over to Thomas and I know he will bring his experience and expertise to bear here in the UK. I wish him and the whole team at MAN Truck & Bus UK continued success.”
