CONGRATULATIONS to Jules Tilstone who has been appointed Managing Director of the Jeep brand in the UK, effective immediately.
In his new role, Jules is joined by Marketing Director Nicola Austen and Christian Theobald as Regional Operations & Jeep Sales Director on the executive management team.
With over 20 years of experience across Stellantis, most recently heading up DS Automobiles in the UK, Jules started his career with the company as Commercial Manager, developing his career in national fleet and then marketing for Citroën before moving to DS Automobiles in 2014 to the position of International Head of Marketing, European Commercial Director and most recently UK Managing Director.
It is a great privilege to take on the role of managing director for Jeep, a brand I have much admired over the years and has an exciting future ahead with an array of new products – our first new all-electric product, Avenger, has just been awarded the European Car of The Year trophy which is a remarkable achievement and testament to the Jeep team.
Tilstone will report to Paul Willcox, Group Managing Director, Stellantis UK, as part of the group’s reorganisation of its senior brand management, with new MDs for Citroen, Peugeot and Fiat recently announced.
Jules has the exciting task of leading the UK business as it creates and prepares for its next milestone – the electric Jeep company.
