Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has appointed Tom Macintyre as its new head of direct sales.

Macintyre will start the position on September 1 and replaces David Hanna, who recently moved across to head up network sales for Volkswagen’s passenger cars division.

Macintyre joined Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles in August 2021 as head of product planning, having previously built a career at Volkswagen Financial Services.

Macintyre has overseen a series of new model launches for the VWCV, including the new ID. Buzz range.

In his new position, he will be responsible for delivering against VWCV’s strategic priorities, including growing its market share in electric vehicles.

Cian O’Brien, director of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: “Tom’s broad experience across strategic transformation and digital process development make him well appointed to deliver our business priorities.”
