Paul Atkinson, managing director of the British School of Motoring (BSM), is the first senior executive to order a new Vauxhall Signum.

Atkinson took delivery of his car from Vauxhall corporate sales and business development manager Bob Maclachlan. He expects to drive 40,000 miles a year in the Signum, 35,000 of these on business. His 3.0-litre V6 Elite will replace a 2.2-litre diesel Omega estate.
