Audi Middle East has announced the appointment of Trevor Hill as managing director. With over 20 years of global experience with Audi, he joins the Middle East subsidiary of Audi following six years in the role of managing director of Audi Korea in Seoul, South Korea. Since entering the market with a regional head office in 2005, Audi has grown strongly in the Middle East. “In 2013, we want to reach the threshold of 10,000 Audi cars sold in the region annually and double that figure by 2020,” said Hill. “We already have the right products and the right technology in place. Our absolute focus will therefore be on customer satisfaction, particularly in the area of after sales. In 2013 alone our dealers are working on seven new service facilities across the region,” he added. In addition to his role as Audi Middle East managing director, Hill will also take on the role as managing director of Audi Volkswagen Middle East FZE overall, a company press release said recently. Trevor Hill, born in Cape Town, South Africa, started his career in 1989 by joining Volkswagen/Audi of South Africa in Johannesburg as manager for Dealer Training and Development. Before relocating to Dubai he represented Audi in South Africa, Germany, Japan, China, Hong Kong and Korea with key areas of expertise in training, dealer development, sales and marketing as well overall company leadership. Hill is married with two children. The Audi Group delivered 1,455,100 cars of the Audi brand to customers in 2012. Audi has long been fulfilling its social responsibility on many levels – with the aim of making the future worth living for generations to come. The basis for Audi's lasting success is therefore formed by environmental protection, the conservation of resources, international competitiveness and a forward-looking human resources policy. – SG
