Volvo Car UK has appointed Mercedes-Benz UK national operations manager Robert Morris as its new head of fleet and remarketing.

Morris, who also previously worked for Skoda UK, moved to the Swedish premium carmaker following Steve Beattie’s move to head of sales in October.

Beattie’s move came as part of a series of leadership changes for the Geely-owned Swedish premium carmaker’s UK operations back in October, with Mark Cox appointed as its network and business development director as Suzanne Woolley and Johan Olsson joined the brand as digital director and chief financial officer.

A statement issued by the OEM said that the Morris would report into commercial operations director, Matt Galvin, and assume responsibility for all Volvo’s UK business sales, including to leasing companies, and the supply of specialist vehicles to the emergency services and other organisations.

He will also oversee vehicle remarketing activities and residual value management.
