Audi has appointed Alison Jones as head of operations in the UK.

Jones joins Audi from Volkswagen Group Customer Services where she was behind an overhaul of the Volkswagen Customer Service Centre and was head of contact strategy for Audi, Volkswagen, Commercial Vehicles, Skoda and Seat.

She said: "I have worked at Volkswagen Group for many years and so have always been involved with Audi. It’s great to now be a direct member of the brand, particularly at such an exciting time.

"Audi has gone from strength to strength in recent years, and I look forward to building on that success."

Volkswagen Group managing director Robin Woolcock said: “Alison will be responsible for new and used car sales, agreeing production volumes as well as network and franchise responsibility for the UK, and we’re confident that she will excel in all areas.”
