MOTOR group Harratts has appointed David Mills as general manager of its Harratts Volvo dealership in Huddersfield.
Mr Mills, who is also general manager at the Harratts Mitsubishi outlet in Darton, joins the Bradley dealership amid signs that the motor group is weathering the worst downturn in the motor industry for many years.
Harratts, the UK’s second largest Volvo seller, recently revealed that it had doubled Volvo’s average sales increase across the UK – posting 12% growth throughout 2009. The latest sales figures from the Huddersfield dealership suggest 2010 could be another recession-busting year.
Shaun Harratt, managing director of Harratts, said: “David is a gifted general manager with a proven track record in successfully overseeing and growing dealerships.
“He joins the dealership with a wealth of experience and expertise that will ensure we build on the dealership’s success.
“We are also delighted with the latest sales figures from Volvo Huddersfield that show a doubling in car sales from this time last year – something we are witnessing across our group.”
