ŠKODA’s Matthew Wiesner has decided it’s time to depart after 11 years with Volkswagen Group Australia. His last six years have been at ŠKODA where he took the brand from inception to its present position as one of the fastest growing in Australia.
In his time at ŠKODA Wiesner was instrumental in setting up and establishing the current growing network of dealers.
Recently the brand celebrated its 10,000th vehicle sale in Australia and continues to grow strongly off the back of new products like the Fabia and Yeti with the new Rapid well on its way.
Prior to running ŠKODA Wiesner held roles in the Volkswagen passenger vehicle and commercial vehicle brands as dealer development manager and general manager of press and PR.
Anke Koeckler, Volkswagen Australia managing director, praised Wiesner’s contribution to the company.
“It is not often you get the opportunity to introduce a new brand and its products to a market. Matthew can proudly claim to have delivered the ŠKODA brand to Australia and delivered a range of products which are not only simply clever but are redefining how customers view ŠKODA in this country,” he says.
“I am grateful for his contribution and want to thank him for his tremendous work. I wish him well in his future endeavours.”
Wiesner will depart ŠKODA Australia at year end, his replacement will be announced in due course.
