CONGRATULATIONS to Ed Jones on his appointment as the new Sales Director at Nissan. He replaces Michael Auliar who leaves the company to follow another opportunity at the end of March.
Ed is a former Nissan executive, having held a number of sales and marketing roles during his first stint at the OEM, including Category manager – Electric Vehicles.
He left Nissan in September 2017 to pursue a career with Audi, originally as National Contract Hire & Leasing Manager before becoming Sales Operation Manager in 2019.
With Nissan’s rich heritage in innovation I am delighted to be joining the brand as it looks ahead to some exciting new technologies and a great choice of electric and electrified vehicles.
Ed Jones, Sales Director, Nissan
Ed added that he returns to Nissan at an exciting moment as the car brand prepares to launch new electric and e-power models.
“Nissan was the only brand with two models in the top five best-sellers in 2024 and, with increased market share and double-digit sales growth, it’s a brand with real momentum in 2025,” he added.
There is also the launch of the new British-built Nissan Leaf to look forward to, as well.
Commenting on the appointment of Ed Jones, Mayra González, Divisional Vice President Marketing and Sales Europe said:
“I’m delighted to welcome Ed to our team – his experience and expertise in all areas of UK sales will be invaluable as we look to capitalise on some exciting new product launches.
