Vauxhall has appointed Andy Gilson as its new customer experience and corporate strategy director.

The role will focus on driving Vauxhall customer satisfaction and developing new strategies for the company.

Gilson has been with GM for 21 years and has worked in the US and Germany. He leaves his current job as marketing director after six-and-a-half years, during which time he was responsible for the launch of two generations of Astra, the Agila, Insignia and new Meriva.

Replacing Gilson as marketing director will be Peter Hope, currently Vauxhall's Integrated communication manager and the man behind the launch of the original 1998Zafira.

He spent three years working in Vauxhall/Opel's main R&D centre in Ruesselsheim.

Gilson and Hope will report to Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall's managing director.
