NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- <\/p>\n
Green Automotive Company, having recently acquired Liberty Electric Cars Ltd., is pleased to announce the addition of 2 new Board members, Ian Hobday and Darren West. <\/p>\n
Mr. Hobday, who also serves as CEO for Liberty Electric Cars Ltd., has international experience in sales, marketing and general management and a track record of growing businesses and delivering profit improvement within multinational companies. Ian is co-founder of several innovative start-up companies and has extensive experience in developing business opportunities worldwide. <\/p>\n
Commenting on his appointment, Ian Hobday said, I am looking forward to serving on the Board of Directors for Green Automotive and I look forward to helping Green Automotive maximize the many synergies that I believe exist between it and Liberty. Liberty has several divisions in operation including, for example, Liberty E-Care, which provides after-sales services for electric or low emission vehicles including servicing & repair. With clients including Navistar, Fedex, UPS, Veolia, and Tescos, Liberty is providing service to roughly 2,000 pure EVs. Through their operation of this business, Liberty has gained a tremendous amount of technical know-how and market intelligence that should translate into solid benefits for Green Automotive in a variety of ways. <\/p>\n
Mr. West, who is also the CFO for Liberty Electric Cars Ltd., has extensive international experience having worked in more than 30 countries including knowledge of acquisitions, mergers and disposals. <\/p>\n
Ian Hobday and Darren West bring a wealth of business experience gained from the management of a company that provides cutting edge automotive technology development, engineering and design with a focus on zero and low emission vehicle solutions, said Fred Luke, President of Green Automotive. For example, through Libertys E-Tech division they have worked on development projects with Fiat, VW, Rolls Royce, Cranfield and Navistar and have been involved in joint ventures for new BMS and Battery designs. These core competencies should significantly enhance Green Automotives technical edge which will support our company as we execute our business plan, including our move to develop all electric buses. We believe both their experience in international transactions as well as the electric vehicle market space will prove invaluable on our Board of Directors. <\/p>\n
