Bowker Motor Group has promoted Jonathan Rogan to the role of head of business at its BMW and Mini centres in Preston.

Before taking on his new role, Rogan was aftersales director for the seven-dealership motor group. He will retain control over aftersales for the group.

As head of business, he will also be in charge of the day-to-day running of the Preston Bowker BMW and Bowker Mini Centres.

Bowker Preston employs more than 150 people. It includes two automotive centres and the North West’s largest aftersales facility. 

Rogan has been in the motor trade for more than 30 years, joining Bowker in 2003.

He said: “After more than 18 years with Bowker Motor Group, the head of business role at Preston presents an exciting new challenge. I already know the team really well and I continue to love every minute of working for this famous Lancashire family business. 

“Everyone in UK automotive retail knows about Bowker. The company is renowned for developing great people, backed up with some of the biggest and best automotive brands in the world. I’m looking forward to the next chapter of the story.”

Bowker Motor Group recently restructured its sales management team to focus its customer experience across both Preston and Blackburn sites. 

The previous head of business at Bowker’s BMW and Mini sites in Preston, Tom Fox, is now centre principal at Porsche Centre Preston.
