Richard Garbutt has been appointed chief executive of Stellantis & You UK, replacing Angela Shepherd who is leaving the AM100 dealer group, which used to be known as Robins & Day.
Shepherd has been with the group for only a year. She joined in June 2023 after four years heading Mercedes-Benz Retail Group, which was broken up by acquisitions by Hedin Mobility, LSH Auto UK and Sandown Motors.
Garbutt is promoted from his current role of sales director, where he has been in position since 2016 overseeing new, used and fleet operations.
Having held a number of senior management roles, Garbutt has experienced the group’s expansion to include Citroën Retail Group and Go Vauxhall, and more recently Fiat and Abarth.
The group said he has also been instrumental in the digitalisation of its systems to improve used car performance and profitability.
