Janice Kennedy has been promoted from the position of regional operations manager for the manufacturer's northern division.

She joined Honda in 2005 as business operations manager and previously worked for Reg Vardy and Renault. Kennedy replaces Bernard Bradley in the role after he took on the position of general manager for the Cars division last month. “Janice brings a wealth of experience from both a dealer and manufacturer perspective,” said Bradley. “She played an integral role in Honda's sales success during the first half of this year and in her new position will ensure this success is continued through the remainder of 2007 and beyond.”
