Lookers has appointed its parts division head Neil Davis as a board director as part of a succession plan.

 

Davis is managing director of the Lookers parts division, which includes distributor FPS, which he was finance director of alongside MD Terry Wainwright when Lookers acquired it in 2004.

Wainwright has been on Lookers' board since the acquisition, but is nearing retirement age and is seeking to continue as chairman of the parts division.

Lookers chairman Phil White said: "We are delighted to announce Neil's appointment to the plc board, recognising the fantastic job he has overseen in developing our independent parts division in conjunction with Terry Wainwright and securing succession to continue the strategic development of our industry leading parts business."
