MG Motor UK has “strengthened its sales and marketing team” with the appointment of Matthew Stevens to the role of product and planning manager.

Described by the brand as an experienced analyst and data insights professional with more than a decade of experience in automotive, Stevens (pictured) has previously held roles at Kia Motors, JATO Dynamics and McLaren Automotive.

His new role will cover both product management and marketing planning, ensuring that MG’s franchised retail network continues to benefit from the right product range and the best customer offers. 

Stevens said: “MG is really making its mark on the UK automotive scene. With improving sales, great customer feedback and positive media response, this is an exciting time to join the brand.

"I’m looking forward to working with the highly experienced team already in place to further improve and grow the product line-up.” 

MG’s head of sales and marketing, Daniel Gregorious, said: “We’ve made a number of exciting appointments over the past 12 months as we’ve invested in the MG business in the UK. I’m delighted to welcome Matthew to the team.

"He has an excellent background having worked in good businesses, with talented people and he is a brilliant addition to our team.” 

In September 2018, MG Motor UK broke the 1,000 monthly registration mark for only the third time in its recent history, following the launch of New MG3.
