Five and a half years after joining ACDelco General Manager Lee Quinney has been promoted to the position of Director – AMUK, by parent company General Motors.

Made in recognition of the growth that the business has enjoyed within the UK and Europe under Quinney’s stewardship, Lee now assumes full responsibility for ACDelco’s independent aftermarket operation within what remain two strategically important global territories. The former head of ACDelco’s European operation, Willi Fey is to retire after a 33-year career with General Motors.

In his new role, Lee will report directly to Markus Sternberg, Executive Director of European Aftersales at Opel/Vauxhall and Duncan Aldred, Chairman & Managing Director of Vauxhall Motors.

During his time with ACDelco, Lee has put in place an experienced team covering the areas of sales, customer service and parts distribution. He has also been responsible for moving the company’s head office location from Newport Pagnell to neighbouring Luton, whilst at the same time consolidating its administration facility and parts warehouse onto the same site. In addition, he oversaw the successful amalgamation of ACDelco’s European operations onto the one UK site.
