Sports car manufacturer appoints new finance director

Sports car manufacturer, Morgan Motor Company, has announced the appointment of a new Group Financial Director.

The Malvern-based company, the world’s longest running family-owned motor manufacturer, has promoted Colin Boden to the new role with immediate effect.

In his new role, Mr Boden will have responsibility for the financial functions of the Morgan Group, while he is also expected to play a part in shaping the firm’s overall strategy.

His key aims will be to further improve profitability for the company, whilst ensuring Morgan has a stable financial platform on which to develop new projects and technology.

Initially joining the firm in 2010 as Management Accountant, Mr Boden has worked in almost every department of the Morgan business during his time there, and was influential in the repurchase of the firm’s factory premises in June.

Mr Boden, 33, will take his place alongside fellow directors Managing Director, Steve Morris, Technology Director, Graham Chapman and Supply Chain Director, Gregor Dixon-Smith.

Mr Morris said: “We are delighted to appoint Colin Boden to the role of Financial Director. Colin has worked tirelessly since joining the company to improve many areas of our business practise. He has demonstrated great ambition both on a personal level and for Morgan as a company and I wish him every success in the role.”

In turn, Mr Boden said: “I am honoured to have been appointed as Group Financial Director of such an iconic and prestigious company. Since joining in 2010 I have been privileged to experience just what a unique brand Morgan is. I am excited to be given the chance to shape the future of the marque and would like to thank the Morgan family and shareholders for the opportunity.”
