The managing directors of BMW UK and Ford of Britain have been appointed to help lead the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
BMW boss Tim Abbott will take over presidency of the trade body in January from Nigel Stein, chief executive of GKN.
Ford's MD Mark Ovenden will become a vice-president along with Gareth Jones, MD of Ebm-Papst Automotive & Drives UK.
Other vice-presidents include John Neill of Unipart Group, Bill Parfitt of GMUK, Robin Woolcock of VW Group and Relf Speth of Jaguar Land Rover.
As editor, Tim is responsible for the media content, planning and production of AM's multiple channels (AM print and digital magazines, website, social media and contributing to our events planning). He interviews and writes about as many franchised dealer groups and UK divisions of motor manufacturers as possible, to explore the issues facing UK motor retail and understand what solutions dealers and suppliers are using to overcome these.
