The MFG Group has appointed Pita Marroni as head of sales and performance.

Reporting directly to chief executive Declan Gaule, Marroni (pictured) will be responsible for the acquisition and development of all new and existing business sales for UK and overseas.

He has over 25 years of international retail motor industry, and is both a long-term member and Fellow of the Retail Motor industry and Member of the Chartered Management Institute.

The MFG Group’s chief executive Declan Gaule said: “Pita has become a key member of the MFG Group team since joining us as a senior trainer and business consultant.

“From day one he has excelled across the board and has been instrumental in helping to grow our ever-expanding overseas portfolio.

"I’m confident that his experience, passion for MFG and client-focused approach will continue to build MFG’s reach and reputation.”

The recent launch of consultancy and broader training aspects to the company’s offering will see an “intense recruitment drive” in 2018 that will further increase the total MFG headcount, said Gaule.
