Savage says: “I’m really happy to be joining Citroen at a time when the brand is becoming even more dynamic, stylish and innovative. We have just launched the award-winning C3 Picasso and the exciting DS range is still to come.”

Jean-Marc Gales, Citroën’s CEO said he was “looking forward to welcoming a great professional with such strong sales experience to further develop Citroen in the UK”.

Savage’s appointment follows the promotion of Xavier Duchemin to head of marketing and communications in Paris.
