Nissan has announced the appointment of Paul Willcox as Chairman for Nissan’s Europe region, bringing him back after a very brief stint with Volkswagen UK.

The company said the appointment is part of senior management and organisational changes designed to further strengthen operations in Europe and globally. Willcox will report to Trevor Mann, Nissan global Chief Performance Officer.

Trevor Mann said: “I am delighted about Paul’s appointment. With his deep knowledge of Nissan and strong leadership, I am confident that Paul will succeed in achieving our European performance objectives.”

Willcox joined Nissan in 1992. In 2011 he took the position of Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing for Nissan Europe, a position he left in September this year to work as head of VW’s UK operations.

Nissan has recently been reshuffling top management across its global operations.
