Experienced new national sales manager at Jaguar Land Rover SA

Robin van Rensburg has been appointed as new national sales manager at Jaguar Land Rover South Africa. He joins the British brands with extensive experience in the sales and marketing sector of the automotive industry. His appointment is the latest of a series of senior recruits that has included three new board members and a staff complement that has virtually doubled this year.

Van Rensburg joins Jaguar Land Rover from BMW where he was national sales operations manager. His experience has extended across various premium brands in the motor industry, including Mobil. "It is an enormously exciting time for the Jaguar and Land Rover brands, which brings its fair share of challenges and opportunities," says Van Rensburg. "We are on a path that needs to identify new customers for both brands over and above those who already assimilate with the brands."

Expanding on high standards

"Customer satisfaction is key in any sales environment, and it is a fantastic opportunity for Jaguar and Land Rover to capitalise on and expand their existing high standards as a dynamic and nimble player in the premium segment. We're small enough to nurture customers, yet have formidable presence and clout in terms of product quality and appeal," says Van Rensburg.

"Robin's appointment is the latest in a string of influential and senior motor industry people who have joined Jaguar Land Rover from some of the leading premium brands in the South African motor industry. It's reinforcement of the appeal and prospects our brands hold and the exciting future for Jaguar Land Rover," says Kevin Flynn, managing director of Jaguar Land Rover South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.
