David George has been appointed as the new Director for MINI UK, with effect from 25 January 2018.  He succeeds Chris Brownridge who moves into the role of Sales Director, BMW UK and will oversee BMW brand sales in BMW Group’s fourth largest market. 

David joins MINI UK from his previous role as Sales Director at Mercedes-Benz UK. He brings substantial experience gained across sales, marketing and aftersales from a career in the automotive industry which started at Volkswagen Group in 2000.

Commenting on his appointment, David George, Director, MINI UK, said: “I first fell in love with the brand at the age of 21 when a friend and I travelled across Europe in a Clubman which we had restored. I have long since admired the MINI range after the launch of the MINI Hatch in 2001.

“With new MINI Hatch and MINI Convertible models launching in March and the first fully-electric production MINI set to be revealed next year, the future looks incredibly exciting. I’m really looking forward to working with the MINI team to further enhance the brand’s appeal amongst both current and new customers alike.”

In 2017 MINI sold 68,166 vehicles in the United Kingdom, making it the largest worldwide market for the brand. The company outperformed the wider UK market with robust consumer retail sales. All-new models including the new MINI Countryman and the brand’s first electrified vehicle, the MINI Countryman PHEV, contributed to overall UK market share growth from 2.56 per cent in 2016 to 2.68 per cent in 2017.

CO2 emission information.

The values for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption shown were determined in a standardised test cycle according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version currently applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers transmission (automatic or manual) and the different wheels and tyres available on the selected model and may vary during the configuration.

The values of the vehicles labelled with (*), are already based on the test cycle according to the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to allow a comparison between vehicles. More information on the transition from NEDC to WLTP test procedures can be found here.

These figures are intended for comparison purposes and may not be representative of what a user achieves under usual driving conditions. For plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles the figures have been obtained using a combination of battery power and petrol fuel after the battery had been fully charged. Plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. The CO2 emissions labels are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the Passenger Car (Fuel consumption and CO2 Emissions Information) Regulations 2001, as amended. They are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle.

A guide on fuel economy and CO2 emissions which contains data for all new passenger car models is available at any point of sale free of charge. For further information you can also visit this link.
