Motoring ahead to next century
Your story about the appointment of Chris Owens as marketing director of Mazda: “Mazda appoints marketing chief” (MW January 12) has been brought to my attention. While wishing Chris every success in his new role, I was disappointed with your article.
I have not “resurfaced” at the RAC, but left Mazda in April 1995 in order to assume the new role of RAC Group strategic director after five months of discussion with senior people here.
My role with the RAC has been expanded to include responsibility for the running of all marketing, sales, membership administration and customer services for the RAC Motoring Sector.
I am looking forward to giving the RAC an even stronger marketing focus into the 21st century.
