Said Singh: “I was impressed by the culture and values of the team and how supportive everyone was to drive positive change, coupled with their desire to succeed and very proud to be part of Motorpoint’s journey.”
Motorpoint CEO Mark Carpenter added: “We are delighted to welcome Kal to Motorpoint and are thrilled to have someone of his talent and caliber and with a strong commitment to operational excellence join our team.
“This is a critical time for Motorpoint as it is for the UK auto retail sector. The entire space in which we operate is becoming increasingly competitive and factors such as the cost of living crisis make it more important than ever that our customers not only have the highest quality products at the promise of unbeatable prices but also have the best. customer experience when they shop with us in store or online.”
