Vehicle manufacturer Stellantis has announced a series of appointments to senior roles in its UK management team.

Lee Titchner (pictured above) is appointed as Pro One LCV director, while Tom Ray has been named as B2B operations director.

Tony Lewis (pictured below), currently UK LCV director, is appointed to a new role as commercial vehicle business development director. 

Finally, as reported by Fleet News, Steve Beattie is leaving Nio to return as sales and operations director at Vauxhall.

Maria Grazia Davino, group managing director, said: “Lee’s broad and varied knowledge coupled with his strong relationships with the network will enable him to lead the Pro One strategy at Stellantis, with our ongoing focus to maximise our market share for LCV in UK and maintaining industry leadership in electric vans.”

“This approach, with the newly-created delivery van sales role, will strengthen our collective offering and coverage, supporting our strategic aims in the LCV market.

“I am delighted that one of our team will take the lead on such a strategic position and I would like to thank Tony for his great contribution to the UK team.”

He also welcomed Beattie (pictured below) back to the group.

“Steve’s wide experience across sales and aftersales, integral knowledge of the Vauxhall brand and positive network engagement skills will make him a valuable asset in driving our Vauxhall sales results forwards,” he said.

“Finally, I congratulate Tom on his new role and know that his extensive sales and leadership experience will enable him to drive forward our plans for the fleet market.”

Titchner will take responsibility for leading the Pro One strategy in the UK, having spent seven years as network development director.

He has previously held several roles across sales and aftersales.

Lewis will be responsible for global key accounts focussing on delivery vans, while Beattie will be responsible for Vauxhall’s sales performance.

Ray (pictured below), meanwhile, joined the group in 2004 and brings with him a breadth of sales experience having worked in a variety of sales roles across Stellantis.
