Having joined BMW in 2006, Matt brings a wealth of experience and
knowledge to the role. His journey with the brand has seen him work in
various capacities at BMW UK, particularly in Strategy and Product
Marketing. In 2014, Matt transitioned to BMW of North America, where
he successfully led BMW Sales and Marketing for the Western USA,
operating in a competitive EV marketplace and managing retail sales
throughout the pandemic. Upon returning to the UK last year, Matt has
been instrumental in supporting several strategic initiatives and
projects designed to shape the future of the business.
Commenting on Matt’s appointment, Debbie McIntosh, BMW Sales
Director, said, “We're delighted to welcome Matt into this new role.
His in-depth knowledge of our brands gained both in the UK and North
America will be of enormous value. Matt’s insights gained in the
rapidly evolving Californian EV market is also particularly beneficial
as we see high demand for electric mobility within corporate fleets in
the UK.”
Matt Collins added, "I’m thrilled to step into the BMW
Group Corporate Sales role at this exciting time. As we continue to
expand our electric vehicle offering with the forthcoming launch of
the BMW i5, a key model for many fleets, I look forward to meeting
many of our customers and further strengthening the BMW and MINI brand
presence within this vital sector of our UK business."
