His resignation is effective from July 29 and Philpot will act as interim chief executive after that date until a new replacement is found. 

Philpot says Stevens has made a “valuable contribution” to VINZ during his time there. 

“He has held the CEO role since February 2020 and helped the company meet the challenges of operating as an essential service under COVID restrictions. We wish him well for his future endeavours,” Philpot says. 

Stevens joined VINZ in August 2015 and was formerly general manager of operation and delivery. His automotive background includes roles with Ateco and Continental Cars Services.
