Ian Plummer has joined Volkswagen UK as head of retail operations.

Plummer, who left Renault UK in December, replaces Alex Smith who moved to Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles as director.

Plummer spent the past 15 years with Renault, in both the UK and Paris, initially as a marketing manager, and held positions including e-business director and regional general manager, on the way to becoming managing director of Renault Retail Group UK in 2006, then director of commercial operations at Renault UK in 2010.

Renault UK confirmed that Plummer’s departure was not linked in any way to the announced restructure for the company in the last month of 2011.
