Vauxhall has appointed Andy Gilson, Vauxhall’s marketing director, as its new customer experience and corporate strategy director.

This role will focus on driving Vauxhall’s customer satisfaction.

Gilson leaves his job as marketing director after six-and-a–half years, during which time he’s been responsible for the launch of every new Vauxhall product, including two generations of Astra, the Agila, Insignia and new Meriva.

Peter Hope will replace Gilson as marketing director. Hope was previously Vauxhall’s integrated communication manager.

Both Gilson and Hope will report directly to Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall’s managing director and both take up their new positions on July 1.
