The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) has named Stellantis senior vice-president and UK country manager Alison Jones as its 82nd president. Jones, who is Stellantis' country manager for the Peugeot, Citroen, DS Automobiles, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Abarth, Jeep and Alfa Romeo, will officially take over from Dr George Gillespie OBE, the chairman of Horiba Mira, on January 1, 2022 - becoming SMMTs first female president. The announcement was made at the SMMT's 104th annual dinner in London on November 23. Commenting on her appointment, 12 months after she was named SMMT vice-president, Jones said: "I am proud to be appointed the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders' president in 2022. "It continues to be pivotal and exciting times for our industry as we drive technological developments and customer experiences, respond to regulatory changes, and adapt to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and post-Brexit world." Gillespie steps down at the end of 2021 after completing a three-year tenure as SMMT president. He said: "I'd like to welcome Alison as new SMMT president, I know she will do a fantastic job and her expertise and guidance will prove invaluable as we look to address our challenges." |
