MG enhances EV ambitions

MG Motor has supported its EV ambitions with two key appointments.

Guy Pigounakis and David Pugh have both joined to drive the sales, aftersales and network development ambitions.

Pigounakis, who was commercial director at MG Rover Group, sales director at Hyundai and most recently head of operations at Richmond Motor Group, said: “Being involved with the MG brand is a bit of a homecoming for me and I can’t wait to get stuck in to supporting the next phase of the company’s growth. There is an amazing amount of potential waiting to be unlocked and this is a hugely exciting time to be getting involved.”

Pugh has over 20 years of experience in marketing for Vauxhall, GM and Jaguar Land Rover and Hyundai.

He said: “It’s an amazing brand that’s already growing rapidly and is perfectly poised to accelerate that growth as we head towards an electrified future, not least because it is already seen as an EV leader. It’s a hugely exciting time to be joining the company and there’s an incredible depth of enthusiasm within the MG Motor team.”

MG currently has a network of 112 dealers with further expansion planned before the end of 2020.
