Volvo Trucks UK & Ireland has announced Simon Villanueva as director of new truck sales. In his new position, Villanueva will lead the company’s new truck sales and all related product and customer support activities.
He brings 15 years of senior leadership experience within Volvo Group with him – most recently serving as its legal director Europe South & West (covering markets including the UK, Spain, France and Italy). For the past two years, he paired that role with overseeing Volvo Trucks UK & Ireland’s public affairs.
Speaking on his appointment, Villanueva said: “I am proud to take on this position at such an important time for the business. Having spent many years working across the Volvo Group, I have seen first-hand the strength of our people, the depth of our customer relationships and the clear direction of our long-term strategy.
“Stepping into the sales organisation gives me a new perspective on how we are supporting our customers as they navigate change and invest with confidence in their fleets. There is a strong foundation already in place, with a highly capable team that understands the market and consistently delivers for our customers.”
