New MD for Jag and Landy SA

Kevin Flynn has been appointed MD of Jaguar Land Rover SA.
 
Flynn, 51, has 28 years' experience in the premium market, 14 of them with Lexus. He began his career as an apprentice with British Leyland before progressing through sales and marketing with a focus on retail and after-sales.

He then spent five years with BMW Great Britain as an area manager, moving into brand and marketing training where he managed the cultural development of the company and its network.

COUNTRY CHANGE

Flynn was appointed general manager of Lexus Great Britain responsible for the brand's launch in the UK. There was a brief departure for Flynn between 1999 and 2001 when he was MD of AFN (Archibald Frazer Nash), a Porsche-owned retail group in the UK, before returning to Lexus to take on the challenge of running Lexus in Germany.

In 2008 the Flynn family moved to South Africa where he took up the position of GM of Lexus SA.
