Harris Group has strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of Lesley Ann Cunnah as Head of Dealer Operations, to drive dealer performance for the MAXUS and Isuzu brands in Ireland.
Cunnah brings extensive experience in automotive retail, dealer development and operational strategy to the newly created role, where she will focus on boosting dealer productivity, supporting network growth and deepening relationships with dealer partners across Ireland.
The move comes at a strategically critical moment for Harris Group as the MAXUS and Isuzu networks undergo rapid expansion.
“Joining Harris Group at such an important stage of expansion for MAXUS and Isuzu in Ireland is a thrilling opportunity for me,” Lesley Ann Cunnah.
With more than 27-years in the motor industry, Cunnah has worked predominantly within Volkswagen Group franchises, including 14-years with SERE SEAT, eight years with VW passenger and commercial vehicles at Donnelly Group, and five years with VW Commercial Vehicles under MOTUS Commercials. Her industry expertise has been recognised with two coveted VW Gold Pin awards across passenger and commercial vehicle operations, while her role on VW’s Dealer Council provides valuable OEM and dealer network perspective.
This combination of franchise knowledge, operational leadership and industry recognition makes her ideally placed to support Harris Group’s dealer partners and to drive growth.
“Joining Harris Group at such an important stage of expansion for MAXUS and Isuzu in Ireland is a thrilling opportunity for me,” said Cunnah. “Both brands are entering an exciting new chapter, with huge potential for market growth, stronger dealer engagement and better customer reach. My priority is to work closely with our dealers to build on the strong foundations already in place, while supporting sustainable growth and operational excellence across the network.”
