MG Rover is looking for a new general manager for fleet sales following a recent reorganisation which has seen previous fleet director Angus Gray take on responsibility for franchised dealers.

Gray had been fleet sales director for two years, and began his new role as general manager for UK franchising on Monday (June 10). Under MG Rover's reorganisation, the title general manager will be equivalent to director.

Paul Hunt, who recently joined MG Rover as national fleet sales manager, will be responsible for the fleet department until Gray's replacement is appointed.

MG Rover could take over Daewoo's Polish car plant as a new site for building its own models and engines for Eastern Europe.

The company is in talks with the Polish Government over the future of the Daewoo-FSO plant and distribution operations.

MG Rover would like existing production at the Zeran plant in Warsaw to continue as well as using it as a 'local' plant for its own cars.
