Stanton said: "This is an exciting time to be joining Volvo. Added to the transformed model range and its rapidly increasing market share, the recent changes Steve has brought about within business ales are paying strong dividends. However, there is still huge potential for growth. "The combined experience and passion of the team, backed by the ongoing investment in innovative solutions to support our customer service offering, will be key to us achieving this. "I am confident that a growing number of businesses across the UK with fleets of all sizes will be making Volvo their manufacturer of choice." With fleet and retail combined, Volvo sold a total of 50,000 cars in the UK for the first time in 28 years, taking a 2.1% share of the market to become the fastest growing premium brand.
