Volvo Car UK Appoints Barnaby Jones as Product Communications Executive

Volvo Car UK has a new addition to its press team, appointing Barnaby Jones as Product Communications Executive.

Barnaby joins after 13 years as a motoring journalist, working on titles such as What Car?, Autocar and Diesel Car. He replaces Chris Mullord, who has moved internally, taking up the position of Product Manager.

Barnaby will be your point of contact for any technical or general questions on the Volvo range, including the forthcoming XC90 T8 Twin Engine.

On his appointment, Barnaby said: “I'm delighted to be joining Volvo, especially at such an exciting time. The stunning XC90 was the first model to showcase Volvo's new design direction, and 2016's products will be equally significant. With a host of new technologies on the way, including electrification across the Volvo range, I'll certainly be kept busy."

Nikki Rooke, Head of Corporate Communications, Events and Sponsorship, said: “We're thrilled to welcome Barnaby to the team. His time as a journalist will stand him in good stead for his new role in PR – especially when it comes to answering probing questions from the media!"

Barnaby starts immediately.
