Adams brings a career in the automotive industry that spans more than three decades. This includes 17 years at Vauxhall, where he was most recently corporate account manager for a number of major blue-chip companies, responsible for all aspects of vehicle and service supply.

His 35 years in the motor industry have seen him specialise in a number of key areas including fleet, conversions and electric vehicles, all of which will contribute to the growing success of the Maxus brand and, in particular, its EV strategy.

Mark Barrett, general manager, Harris Maxus, said: “In his previous role, Chris worked closely with his dealership sales teams and this, together with his business acumen and unrivalled experience in the commercial vehicle sector make him an outstanding appointment for the business.”

He continued: “Chris will work closely with me and our UK sales manager, Bill Laidlaw, as we continue to grow our dealership footprint across the country and indeed, across other right hand drive markets.  I am confident that his expertise and industry knowledge will prove invaluable.”
