Independently-owned dealer group Greenhous has appointed Craig Norton as its new dealer principal for its Telford dealership.

Norton will be taking over from Steve Thomas, who is retiring after a 45-year career with Greenhous.

He has previously held key positions as general manager and sales manager at W R Davies Group for 16 years and recently served as chair of the DS Automobiles franchise board.

Danny Minshall, regional retail director of Greenhous Group, said: "We’re excited to welcome Craig to Greenhous. His extensive knowledge of the Stellantis range will enable him to seamlessly transition into this role. We look forward to seeing how Craig’s expertise will drive further growth for Greenhous Group."

In his new role, Norton will oversee operations at Greenhous Telford, which recently expanded to include Citroen and Peugeot in addition to the existing Vauxhall offerings.

"I’m thrilled to join Greenhous Group,” he said, “a company known for its dedication to quality and customer satisfaction. I’m eager to work with the Telford team to continue and enhance the excellent service we provide to our customers."

Reflecting on Steve Thomas’s tenure, Minshall added: "Steve has been a vital part of Greenhous Group for 45 years, playing a significant role in our success and growth. We wish him all the best for a well-deserved retirement."
