Rolls-Royce has announced the appointment of a former BMW regional general manager as its new regional director for Asia Pacific.

Paul Harris will move to Singapore to replace Colin Kelly who, after eight years, is to re-establish his own business in Canada. He is to be supported by a team in Beijing.

Mr Harris spent nearly 25 years at the BMW Group in the UK and Europe where he most recently worked in the position of general manager in Northern Europe.

He 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."

It is currently an important area for Rolls-Royce as Asia is predicted to be one of its fastest growing regions.

The company recently announced the appointment of Torsten Mueller as its new chief executive.
