Polestar UK and Ireland has appointed Matt Galvin (pictured) as its new managing director, effective 1st July.
With 20 years of experience in the automotive industry, Galvin has held senior roles in Mercedes Benz UK, Volvo UK, Nio UK, and a Polestar global sales role.
Galvin said: “I am delighted to be taking the role of Managing Director of Polestar UK and Ireland at such a pivotal time for the brand.
“As we move from a single car line-up to a three-car brand, and with bold plans for growth over the next few years, it couldn’t be more exciting time to be assuming the role.
“I very much look forward to working with the existing Polestar UK and Ireland teams and we wish Jonathan (Goodman) a long and healthy retirement.”
Goodman announced his retirement after several years in senior management roles within Polestar.
He said: “It has been a privilege to help shape the future of Polestar during its formative years with such strong growth in both sales and brand awareness.
“We have achieved so much over the past seven years and I have had the honour to work with a first-class team who I wish to thank for their collaboration and fabulous working spirit over the years.”
