Suzuki has appointed Takanori Suzuki as the new managing director for its UK and Ireland operations.
He replaces Nobuo (Sam) Suyama, who joined Suzuki GB in autumn 2014 and will leave at the end of February to become president of Suzuki Marine for the USA.
Takanori Suzuki is already a familiar face for the carmaker’s GB business, having previously held the role of MD from 2006 to 2010. He’s currently division general manager for Europe, Oceania and Latin America for SMC Automobile and will retain this position alongside the Suzuki GB role.
Sam Suyama commented: “I have very much enjoyed my eight years at SGB and would like to thank all our employees and dealers for their major efforts and achievements in sales, aftersales and above all, customer satisfaction of our products and retention where we continue to thrive. I will watch the market with interest and wish my friends and colleagues the very best of luck.”
