Bob Lowden appointed managing director of Iveco UK 04 November 2014

Bob Lowden, 56, is returning to the UK in a new role as managing director of Iveco, after three years heading up the company's operations in South Africa – a period which saw Iveco sales treble and market share double in this growing overseas market.

Lowden has significant experience both of the UK market and within Iveco, having joined the company in a fleet development role back in 1990.

Prior to moving to South Africa, he spent five years as Iveco customer service director, responsible for parts and service, before which he was dealer network director for four years.

He took on his first role in the commercial vehicle sector in the early 1980s with the BRS Engineering Division in Gateshead; later joining Cowie Group, an Iveco Ford Truck dealer in Sunderland, as aftersales director.

Commenting on his return, Lowden says: "Iveco has identified Northern Europe as a major growth area, and my focus will be on developing market share and volume in both the UK and Ireland."
