Marshall’s new senior appointments to support growth

  07 September 2020

Marshall Motor Holdings has appointed four new executives to continue its growth strategy. Former Chrysler Jeep MD Simon Elliot joins from Vertu after just a year in the role of commercial vehicle director: he takes on a similar position at Marshall, “specifically to grow the group’s commercial vehicle exposure, footprint and channels to market”.

Adrian Wallington rejoins as commercial development director from the MD role at Endeavour Automotive. He will lead a number of strategic projects to support the group and unlock further growth opportunities.

Carol Illing also rejoins Marshall, where she worked for 11 years before joining Howes Percival LLP. She will help Marshall with “the many complexities involved in scaling a business”.

Matt Willmott joins as head of group legal from Marshall’s legal advisors Denton LLP. He has acted for the group since 2015, including its 2015 IPO.

“These high calibre individuals have been added to support the future growth aspirations of the business, support our outstanding management teams and enhance our existing operations,” said CEO Daksh Gupta.
