Harris MAXUS UK has appointed Richard Chamberlain as its new Sales Director, strengthening the leadership team behind the continued growth of the MAXUS brand in the UK. His appointment follows the recent promotion of Gary Brown to Commercial Operations Director, with Chamberlain taking responsibility for sales performance across the MAXUS dealer network.
Chamberlain returns to Harris MAXUS UK with extensive experience across the commercial vehicle sector, having previously served as MAXUS Country Manager for the UK and Ireland. Previous sector roles include LCV Director for Stellantis UK, Country Manager for Fiat Professional and Head of LCV Sales for Renault Trucks, thus bringing significant OEM experience and a detailed understanding of the UK LCV market. His return to the MAXUS marque provides Harris Group with a leader who understands the brand, its proposition and its significant growth potential.
His appointment comes as Harris Group continues to invest in the brand and pursue its wider strategic ambition to build a £1 billion turnover business by 2030, with MAXUS playing a fundamental role in that growth.
Chamberlain said, “I know the MAXUS brand well and have always believed there was significant potential here. To now return at such an important stage of its development, and to have the opportunity to help shape the next phase of growth from within the Harris Group, is particularly exciting. The product portfolio, the strength of the dealer network and our unwavering focus on customer support, give us a very strong platform. I’m looking forward to working closely with the Harris MAXUS team and our dealers to turn that potential into strong, sustainable growth.”
Harris MAXUS UK Commercial Operations Director, Gary Brown added: “Richard brings a combination of manufacturer experience, commercial vehicle expertise and, importantly, first-hand knowledge of MAXUS. He understands where the brand has come from and, equally, where it’s capable of going. As we build the business towards our wider growth ambitions, having someone of Richard’s experience leading our sales and network operations will be a significant asset.”
“MAXUS has already established a strong position in the UK LCV market, but we see considerable headroom for further growth. Richard’s appointment strengthens the team at exactly the right time and gives us the experience and focus we need to continue developing the network, expanding our customer base and making the most of the opportunities ahead.”
