He said: “This is a great opportunity to join an exciting and growing brand that is leading the industry with a wide portfolio of electric products and significant traction in a number of sectors. 

“I'm looking forward to working closely and supporting the Harris Maxus brand as we embark on the next stage of the journey."

Harris Maxus managing director Mark Barrett said: “We look forward to working with Richard and SAIC to further grow the Maxus brand in the UK and Ireland. 

“Since we relaunched the brand here in 2016, we’ve enjoyed sustained growth in both markets. 

“With a diverse range of premium vehicles, and with even more new models on their way, Maxus is set for even more success into the future. 

“It’s an exciting time for the brand and Richard’s arrival could not have come at a better time.”
