Ford New Zealand managing director Simon Rutherford, who is also the current president of the Motor Industry Association, is set to move on to a new role.
Rutherford has been with Ford NZ since 2016, making his local tenure at the helm of the brand longer than most. His new post within Ford has yet to be confirmed.
Since his appointment as managing director, he has guided the New Zealand business to record sales levels, including light commercial segment leadership and ongoing overall Ford Ranger market leadership.
Rutherford will continue in his current role in the short term to manage the transition.
