Ridgeway deal prompts Marshall management restructure

Following its recent acquisition of Ridgeway Group, Marshall Motor Group has announced changes to its senior management.

Jon Head, formerly Ridgeway’s Operations Director, will take up the newly created role of Commercial Director for the enlarged Marshall group. The role will include responsibility for aftersales development, F&I, CRM, marketing and purchasing.

Jamie Crowther, Marshall’s Operations Director, will assume operational responsibility for the enlarged group with the Marshall and Ridgeway operational directors reporting to him.
