Owen Gregory has been confirmed as the new director of fleet operations at Ford of Britain, replacing Nick Themistocleous who has taken early retirement.

Gregory is a Ford ‘lifer’, having joined the business in 2002 as manager for district marketing and dealer representation. He has also worked as dealer and consumer marketing manager and product marketing manager in the UK and, latterly, as European brand manager based in Cologne.

He will report to UK sales director Kevin Griffin, himself a former fleet director.

Themistocleous was fleet director for a little over year after previously incumbent Phil Hollins was promoted to commercial vehicles director, Europe.
