AutoWindscreens reveals new MD

Chesterfield-based Auto Windscreens has named Rupert Armitage as its new manager director.

“Auto Windscreens saw a huge amount of change in 2015, which presented a number of challenges moving into 2016,” Armitage said. “We have been carefully reviewing how we operate and are now in a stronger position than ever to best serve our partners and customers.”

He added: “The last nine months have been exciting and the team here are fantastic, being key to Auto Windscreens’ success. I’m delighted to be appointed to the role of managing director officially and am eager to see where we can take Auto Windscreens in 2017 and beyond.”
