JLR’S HALLMARK POACHED FOR THE TOP JOB AT BENTLEY
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) global strategy director Adrian Hallmark has been named the new chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, where he replaces Wolfgang Dürheimer.
Dürheimer, 59, is retiring after his second stint in charge of the British firm, one of three roles he has held within the Volkswagen Group. Dürheimer, who oversaw major growth for Bentley and the launch of the Bentayga, will retain a role advising the VW Group on motorsport projects.
Hallmark, 55, was previously Bentley’s board member for sales, marketing and PR before moving to JLR. He has previously worked for Porsche, VW and Saab, and is understood to have left JLR in early October.
