Currently head of sales and an executive for Mazda SA, Roberts has a long-standing career and widespread experience within the automotive sector.
Roberts will be taking over from David Hughes who came from Australia in 2013 with a clear mandate: set-up Mazda Southern Africa as a stand-alone entity and establish a new dealer footprint.
Within a year of his arrival, a new Midrand based MSA head office was built and a full sales and service dealer network of 52 was identified to cover South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland.
"Craig Roberts is an outstanding senior manager and he has proved himself with a stellar record as head of sales. With a person of his experience and business acumen, we did not need to look far for our new MD. I am confident that he will lead our Southern Africa organisation to even greater heights in the future," comments Hughes.
