Former Inchcape UK chief executive George Ashford has joined the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) as a non-executive director because the organisation rounds out its “dream team”.
Six recent non-executive directors (NEDs) have joined the IMI’s board, including Adrian Dally, director of motor finance and strategy on the Finance & Leasing Association.
The brand new NEDs are confirmed as:
- Andy Hamilton, president and executive managing director of LKQ Europe
- Jeremy Hicks, market performance director at Jaguar Land Rover and non-executive director at motor industry charity, Ben
- George Ashford, former CEO of Inchcape UK
- Adrian Dally, director of motor finance and strategy on the Finance & Leasing Association
- Linda Ford, an experienced CEO and non-executive director currently holding roles with the association of accounting technicians, Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, National Association of Funeral Directors Discipline Committee
- Paul Philip, chief executive of The Solicitors Regulation Authority
The now complete board, chaired by Graeme Potts, boasts a team of 13 NEDs each bringing a wealth of experience, insight and expertise.
Potts, recently appointed chair of the IMI board, said: “These additional appointments, together with the opposite NEDs already announced, put us in an excellent position to steer the IMI on this ever-evolving and game-changing era for the industry.
“Together they share the identical commitment to the automotive workforce that the remaining of the board holds, and their big selection of backgrounds, experience and perspectives might be hugely helpful to the work of the IMI and the broader industry, increasing diversity and shutting skills gaps to futureproof the sector.”
With its recent Board complete – and a CEO and CFO set to hitch this yr – the IMI is entering a daring recent era. Backed by a dynamic and diverse leadership team, the Institute is concentrated on championing the individuals who keep the sector moving, driving skills, standards and professionalism in a fast-changing industry.
