Armstrong’s appoints Bell as chief marketing officer

Automotive distribution and vehicle retail group, Armstrong’s has appointed experienced automotive executive Nadine Bell as its new chief marketing officer.

Bell is well known to the automotive distribution and retail trade through her more than 19 year tenure (collectively) at Honda New Zealand.

She joined the Japanese-owned distributor in mid 2000 as the national contact centre manager and rose up the ranks becoming the national sales and marketing manager in 2013.

Bell then held the general management portfolio of marketing, followed by customer experience, and then aftersales for Honda New Zealand before leaving the company for a group general management role with an electric appliance distributor.

Armstrong’s is also seeking a new Chief Operating Officer, following the recent departure of Ben Giffin who was formerly the director and executive general manager of Mercedes-Benz New Zealand.
