ZTC ANNOUNCES NEW CEO OF AUTO DIVISION [Week, The (Oman)]


(Week, The (Oman) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Zawawi Trading Company (ZTC), the authorised gen­eral distributor for Mercedes­Benz in Oman, has appointed Clive Hammond as the new chief executive officer for its automotive division starting January 2014, a press release said. He takes over from Craig Hardie, who served as CEO for ZTC's Mercedes­Benz dealership over the last three years.



Clive began his career in the automobile industry 27 years ago with Jaguar Cars UK and brings to ZTC a wealth of experience from all areas of the luxury automotive business. He also worked with other brands including Aston Martin and Audi.

He joins ZTC from JCT600 Ltd, one of the largest motor groups in the UK, where he served as the Mercedes­Benz brand director and BMW/Mini brand director.


Welcoming his successor, Craig said, "Mercedes­Benz is entering a new phase of expand­sion in Oman and Clive brings extensive experience and leader­ ship skills to drive this growth across all areas within ZTC's automotive division. The next few years are a crucial step in aligning and accomplishing our business goals, which include driving sales for passenger and commercial vehicles, continuing to deliver smooth and efficient after­sales services across various areas in Oman and maintaining Mercedes­ Benz as the leading luxury auto­ motive brand." ZTC's years of building 'best in class' customer experiences in Oman provide Clive with a solid foundation to further stren­gthen its performance across its entire automotive operation. A focus to deliver unrivalled cus­tomer satisfaction through all four of the company's sales, service and parts outlets contin­ues to be the core strategy for ZTC in Oman.
