GIUK Statement

New GIUK Chairman and Chief Executive

We are very pleased to announce that Mr Phil McClennon, former Chief Executive Officer of Leadec UK is now the new Chairman and Chief Executive of GIUK as of 1 May, 2022, succeeding Mr Terry Sargeant. Mr McClennon started his career at an Automotive OEM, delivering engineering projects across their manufacturing and logistics divisions. He first became a member of GIUK close to 20 years ago after founding a UK subsidiary for a German Engineering Group where he became Managing Director. Within that period he moved to work in Germany for close to a decade, working in his group's global headquarters across a number of senior executive roles. He re-joined GIUK upon his return to the UK in 2016 after taking on the UK ceo role for a German Industrial company. Mr McClennon will be in charge of the GIUK Membership and Dr Bernd Atenstaedt, who will remain Executive President, will be in charge of Government lobbying, our USP, both working together for the good of German business in the UK.
