Harley-Division UK has appointed Mike Kennedy as managing director.

Born in Harley-Davidson’s hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Kennedy has been with the company for 15 years and is now based at its UK head office.

Taking over from Garry Brumfitt, who is now Harley-Davidson’s director of European affairs, Kennedy says: “Harley-Davidson UK has achieved six years of record growth and I’m looking forward to the challenge of continuing the trend. Most of this growth can be attributed to a very strong dealer network.”
