jean marc gales moved on

[richbk]

just spotted this on evo website.

hadnt seen anything on here about his departure.

"personal reasons" quoted, but that could cover a myriad of things, seems to close to the geeley take over to me 

 

Anyone got the inside track, or thoughts on where it leaves lotus ?

 

in my mind he was a shrewd business man and a "car" guy with some clear ideas for lotus, no idea who or what the new guys mission will be ?

Saw this in Automotive Management this week. There is a Geely man taking over from China. Jean Marc Gales will remain as an advisor but leaves to manage a classic car specialist based in London

Hi Mark

yes I saw this just after, was just wondering what people’s thoughts and hopes were for the brand, as things seemed to be moving in the fight direction finance and product wise with new Elise and esprits being mooted. 

It seems lotus has a tendency to shoot itself in the foot on a regular basis with its management decisions
