HSV’s Managing Director , Mr. Phil Harding has announced that he is going to leave his position with HSV in Australia to head up HSV’s big export push into Europe and the Middle East.

Harding originally found his way into Australia via the Walkinshaw outfit, landing the first Managing Director position at HSV after founder John Crennan took a back step in day-to-day operations.

Previous to the Walkinshaw position, Harding was the chief engineer at Rolls Royce, and was rather a contrast on Crennans requirements on well developed sales and marketing. But Hardings influence into HSV’s engineering witnessed the company reach its highest levels of sales.

Harding’s time at HSV was always going to be short lived, with the ex-UK resident having to leave behind his family to take control of the Australian performance car marquee.
