CITROËN UK APPOINTS NEW MARKETING DIRECTOR

Citroën is pleased to announce the appointment of Souad Wrixen as Marketing Director for the brand in the UK. Souad will take up her new role on 1 September, 2017.

Souad joined the PSA Group in 1988 and her significant experience – both in the UK and Europe – already includes 17 years working for the Citroën brand in Slough and a further 9 years in a variety of PSA Group roles in Italy – culminating in her appointment as Director of New Vehicle Supply for Peugeot and Citroën.

Commenting on Souad’s appointment, Bek Hassan – Managing Director of Citroën UK, said; “It is with great pleasure that we announce Souad’s new role heading up the Marketing team. It’s an exceptionally important time for Citroën here in the UK as we continue to transform the brand and renew the product range. Souad’s wealth of experience will be invaluable in the coming months and years.”

Souad commented; “I am delighted to take on this new role, and it couldn’t have come at a more exciting time. I’m looking forward to working with my colleagues in Marketing, and across the business as a whole, as we continue to strengthen the brand – especially with the development of the Citroën Advanced Comfort® programme and the launch of the New C3 Aircross Compact SUV.”
