ROLLS-ROYCE Communications Director Moves to BMW

Graham Biggs, Corporate Communications Director for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, will leave the company at the end of October to take up a new position as Corporate Communications Director at BMW UK. He succeeds Chris Willows, who is retiring after 23 years in the Corporate Communications department. "Graham joined Rolls-Royce in October 2002 as the company approached its relaunch in January 2003," said Rolls-Royce CEO, Tom Purves, "He built a communications team which has played a major role in the re-establishment of Rolls-Royce around the world over the last six years. I am extremely grateful to him for all his hard work in building the reputation of our company and he can be proud of what has been achieved. We wish him well as he takes up this new, challenging post."

Graham began his BMW Group career at Bracknell in 1998 as Corporate Communications Manager. He returns as Corporate Communications Director with responsibility for the BMW, MINI and Motorrad brands.

"It has been a privilege to have played a part in the relaunch of Rolls-Royce," said Graham, "This has been a unique opportunity and I have my team to thank for the successes we have enjoyed. I have been lucky enough to meet and work with a fascinating mix of media, as well as customers and colleagues, from all over the world. I will be sad to leave Rolls-Royce, but am looking forward to taking up the challenges of this new role."

Graham's replacement will be announced in due course.
