member of the Audit and Risk, Remuneration and Nominations
Committees.
Paul is highly experienced in the global automotive industry,

speaks for itself. He is well known and highly respected throughout
the motor industry for all he has achieved in his career. His
in-depth understanding of our industry, combined with his extensive

opportunities ahead. Paul's experience and guidance will be
invaluable to us on that journey."

exciting time for the business. Having spent most of my career with
major global manufacturing brands, I really appreciate the
importance of a strong, well located dealership network. I am also

through electrification and digitisation, where Lookers can further
enhance its proposition and prosper in the current
environment."
