Chris Clark, managing director, said: “I have been watching Volvo with great interest over recent years and believe this is a very exciting time to join the brand.
“They have some amazing products and some inspirational developments planned in the future, all of which put Volvo firmly on the short list as a credible option in growing car segments.”
Jon Wakefield, managing director, Volvo Car UK, said: “I’m delighted to have John Clark on board.
“We explored a number of potential partners for Volvo Cars Edinburgh, but John Clark’s combination of professionalism and an impressive portfolio ultimately shone through.”
