Xaver Franz has started work at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in Goodwood, southern England, as the new director of manufacturing.


He has worked in the automotive industry for 28 years after joining BMW Group in 1978. He has held a number of senior positions within the manufacturing function, most recently in vehicle quality management at the BMW plant in Dingolfing.


Franz takes over his new role from Hermann Bohrer who joined Rolls-Royce in 2003 and successfully directed the production ramp-up of the Phantom, the launch of Phantom with extended wheelbase and the development phase of the new convertible, due for launch in 2007.


Bohrer leaves Goodwood to take over new responsibilities as plant manager BMW Berlin.
