Mike Kimberley has been confirmed as the Chief Executive Officer of Group Lotus.
The announcement was made by the Lotus Group International Limited (LGIL) holding
company board on 20 September at the same time as Mr Kimberley was outlining the sports
car maker's new high-level strategic five-year business plan.
A highlight of the plan, which has the holding company board's full support, is the introduction
of a new mid-range Lotus set for launch in December 2008 and a Lotus/Proton highperformance
model, due in May 2008.
Mike Kimberley was the managing director of Lotus in the Colin Chapman era and took over
as CEO after Chapman's tragic death in 1982. The holding company invited him to return to
Lotus in May this year in an acting role to review the Group business and operations.
Mike Kimberley, CEO, Group Lotus plc said: "I'm honoured that the main Proton holding board
has put their faith in me. Lotus has always shown great innovation and vision; as a team at
Lotus, we are all determined to realise the company's full potential and justify Proton's
confidence in us."
