Adam Wood takes the reins at Renault UK

Adam Wood has now taken over from Guillaume Sicard as managing director for Renault UK and country head of Renault Group UK.

Renault announced Sicard would be leaving the position earlier this year to take on the role of vice president of Renault in France.

Wood (pictured) was announced as Sicard’s replacement back in June following the latter's promotion and Wood’s decision to leave Stellantis as managing director of Peugeot UK.

Wood was previously Vauxhall's marketing director before he was promoted to head Peugeot in January 2023.

He actually started his career at Renault UK in 2007 when he joined the graduate programme after achieving a French degree from University of Bristol and a Master of Science (MSc) in International Business from the University of Nottingham.

Wood returns to Renault UK as the brand expands and renews its model range, with a strong focus on electrification. 

Wood said: “I am proud to return to Renault UK to lead the business at such an exciting time.  

“Renault has real momentum and, with the iconic Renault 5 E-Tech 100% electric and Renault 4 E-Tech 100% electric set to strengthen our zero-emission product line-up even further, I look forward to building on our success.”
