We are delighted to announce the promotion of Irfan Munir to Senior Operations Director and Anwar Ahmed to Divisional Director, reinforcing our promote-from-within culture.
These appointments reflect our belief that our people are our greatest asset. By recognising, rewarding, nurturing and developing talent from within, we are building clear pathways for career progression, while creating the foundations for long-term success.
Irfan joined the Group in 2004 as a Sales Executive, after which he progressed through several roles, including Sales Controller, Sales Manager, General Manager, Divisional Director and most recently, Operations Director. Throughout his career, he has consistently demonstrated outstanding leadership, deep operational understanding and a strong commitment to delivering results while developing high-performing teams.
In his new role, Irfan will oversee operational performance, while supporting a team of three Operations Directors and ensuring the continued delivery of high standards across the business.
Anwar joined the Group in 2014 as a Senior Sales Executive and has progressed through several key leadership roles, most recently serving as General Manager with responsibility for multiple sites. As Divisional Director, Anwar will oversee our Toyota and Lexus Centres in Bedford, Cambridge, Hatfield, Northampton and St Ives. His promotion recognises his consistent track record of delivering strong operational performance, building successful teams and providing exceptional customer experiences.
These appointments come as we continue to strengthen our Employee Value Proposition (EVP), designed to enhance the colleague experience, support retention and attract the best talent within the automotive sector.
Recent EVP enhancements include increased basic salaries, enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption and sick pay benefits, revised working hours to support the work-life balance, long-service awards to recognise loyalty and increased annual leave entitlement. We also launched our Excellence Awards, designed to strengthen recognition across the business.
We’re extremely proud of our promote-from-within culture, which provides clear pathways for career development and progression. It’s particularly rewarding to once again make senior leadership appointments from within our own organisation, recognising the talent, commitment and capability that exists across our network.
We wish Irfan and Anwar every success in their new roles.
