Wrightbus has unveiled the appointment of Christian Reynolds as its Group Chief Operating Officer.
Reynolds, who started working for Wrightbus in April, will split his time across both the firm’s manufacturing facilities in Ballymena and Bicester.
Christian Reynolds said:The Wrightbus team has demonstrated its commitment to building scale and efficiency across its end-to-end manufacturing operations, from new vehicle production to its innovative repower programme - converting mid-life diesel buses to electric. Along with comprehensive refurbishment and repair services, the commitment to consistent improvement is contagious.
With a clear focus on manufacturing excellence, the powertrain portfolio - including combustion, hydrogen, and electric - ensures adaptable solutions that meet evolving customer needs.
Reynolds previously held an executive director position for sports car manufacturing at Lotus, as well as the position of director of manufacturing at Tesla.
Wrightbus CEO, Jean-Marc Gales, said:We have all been impressed by Christian’s enthusiasm and dedication to the role since he started with us. His experience in the bus and automotive worlds is right up there, but what is extra special is that Wrightbus can attract people of this calibre to our business. Our name is synonymous with zero emissions transport and market leadership and the message is spreading around the world.
