New Head of Channel at LKQ Coatings

LKQ Coatings has named Jodie Mullard as its new Head of Channel, who brings over 10 years’ experience to the role via marketing, customer experience and digital positions with a number of companies including Thomas Cook and PPG Industries. She has already spent five years with LKQ Europe, and for the past year acted as Director of Digital Customer Experience. A key element of her new role will be the implementation of a new customer relationship management (CRM) database.

Jodie said: “I’m excited to leverage the full strength of the LKQ Group, bringing together excellence in areas such as logistics, product reach, sustainability, talent development and data, to enhance our proposition and ensure we are ready to listen and adapt to support our customers today, tomorrow and well into the future.”

Managing Director of LKQ Coatings Andy Southby added: “Jodie has invaluable expertise in all things digital and data, and brings fresh perspective to how we can deliver the best results for our customers. She will spearhead a series of changes, both internal and customer-facing, to ensure we are leading the way when it comes to supporting UK bodyshops.”
