Mr Noble said: “It’s been fantastic to have had the opportunity to lead the team at Ellesmere for the past five years. They have done an excellent job continually innovating to drive performance and efficiency, resulting in the allocation of a new battery electric LCV and passenger car models that start production later this year. I know the team will continue to have great success as they transition to become Stellantis’s first dedicated electric vehicle manufacturing plant.

“I am now looking forward to returning to Luton Plant after 12 years of working in China, Poland and Ellesmere Port, and starting my expanded role working with the team there to deliver equally exceptional results for the business.”

Ms Miller commented: “I am delighted to be appointed plant director at Ellesmere Port at such a crucial time for the plant, where this year we will be transitioning to become the group’s first all-electric manufacturing plant. I am looking forward to working with the fantastic team here to deliver a flawless launch of our new all-electric vehicle. Working together we have demonstrated that we can do anything, and I believe that if we continue with our innovation and frugality we will achieve all our targets.

“My goal is to make sure Ellesmere Port is producing vehicles for many years to come securing long term employment for the local area.”
