Aston Martin Jaguar Land Rover Adds A Fourth Regional Office In Chicago

IRVINE, Calif. - Aston Martin Jaguar Land Rover North America announces that the organization will open a new regional office in Chicago to better serve retailers in the Midwest United States. The new Midwest Region will serve Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.

Previous to the addition of the Midwest Region, the organization divided its retailers into three regions- Northern, Southern and Western. The Northern Region previously had responsibility for what the Midwest region will now cover. The Northern Region continues to serve the Boston, New Jersey, New York and Washington DC markets.

"The addition of a fourth region demonstrates our commitment to our retailers," commented Doug Speck, vice president of Retail Operations for Aston Martin Jaguar Land Rover North America. "Our organization is experiencing growth not only in sales, but in the number of Jaguar and Land Rover retailer points. The addition of this region will equip us to service our retailers effectively."

Key management changes involving this announcement include the appointment of Chris Brown to the new position of Midwest Regional Manager. He will report to Doug Speck. Pat Ward is appointed National Remarketing Manager, replacing Chris Brown. Miah Bradbury replaces Pat Ward as the Retail Planning and Programs Manager.

The Midwest Regional Office will be located in Downer's Grove, IL. The office will be operational by the second quarter of 2003.
