Automotive learning and development agency RTS Group has made three key appointments.

Stuart Rudd has joined the Chippenham-based company as account director and Argi Frantzi has become senior learning and development consultant.

Paul Hunt joins as leadership consultant, working with the Mazda dealership network.

RTS Group specialises in helping manufacturers develop their frontline dealership staff.

Rudd is working primarily with RTS clients Honda, Hyundai and Aston Martin.

Before joining RTS, he spent several years in learning and development, initially in technical training and latterly management training, working with brands including Jaguar Land Rover and Peugeot Citroen.

Argi Frantzi is senior learning and development consultant.

Frantzi comes from Greece, where she worked with Apple, first in technical support, then moving into training.

When she relocated to the UK, she continued her career in training, initially staying with Apple.

Before joining the RTS team, she was an instructional designer with the Volkswagen Group.

Since joining RTS, Frantzi has been developing courses and workshops for Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover.

Hunt’s role is delivering the Challengers@Mazda retail development programme to the Mazda dealership network.

His previous roles have taken him from management trainee, to dealer principal, to a 12-year period in South Africa, where he was initially with a manufacturer’s importer before moving into learning and development.
