Fiat has announced new appointments to its UK senior management team.

Neil Heilbron has been named as head of an expanded sales team, while Victoria Hatfield will lead the brand’s marketing operation.

Heilbron has worked within the Stellantis group since 2010, in a variety of sales and aftersales roles across multiple brands.

Hatfield joins Fiat from Vauxhall, where she was most recently head of communications.

Both will report to Fiat and Abarth UK managing director Giuseppe Cava (pictured), who said: “With a number of new models launching this year, it’s an exciting time for Fiat and important that we strengthen our commercial teams to maximise the opportunities; the appointment of Vicky and Neil will be key to this.

“Our network is in a growth phase, as we add additional retailers to service the needs of a growing customer base. 

“I’m committed to ensuring our commercial teams, led by Vicky and Neil, work closely with our retail partners, supporting them and ensuring we deliver the highest levels of customer experience.”
