Rolls-Royce announces changes to Asia Pacific team
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is pleased to announce the appointment of
Paul Harris as the company's new Regional Director for Asia
Pacific. Paul takes the helm for the Rolls-Royce business in the
region from Colin Kelly, who is moving back to Canada after eight

Paul brings nearly 25 years of experience from within the BMW
Group, holding significant roles in the United Kingdom and
continental Europe. Most recently, he has undertaken a General
Manager role in Northern Europe, an area that included Sweden,
Denmark, Norway, Finland and the Baltic States.
On his appointment, Paul said, "It is a real privilege to be
working with the pinnacle brand in the Asia Pacific where we have a
healthy order bank and outlook for both the Phantom family and the
new Ghost models. I arrive at an important time for the region as
we review and develop our business in what is predicted to become
one of the fastest growing regions for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in
the world. Even more importantly, our challenge will be to exceed
the high expectations of our Asia Pacific customers."
Paul will lead the business from the company's Asia Pacific
regional office in Singapore with support from teams in Beijing
(led by General Manager for Greater China, Jenny Zheng) and Tokyo.
