Kwik Fit adjusts Netherlands management team

As of 1 May, Yutaka Kimbara is the interim chief executive officer of Kwik Fit Nederland. He takes on this role at Kwik Fit’s Dutch operation following the departure of Martin Post, who is now general manager of car distributor Louwman Dealer Group. Kimbara will work in this capacity until a permanent successor to Post is named.

In addition, Keijiro Fukuda returns to Kwik Fit Nederland to take on Kimbara’s former position of chief operating officer, and the company has also appointed Paul Traas its chief administrative officer. Fukuda was director of corporate planning and trading director at Kwik Fit Nederland between 2012 and 2016. Traas has worked for the company for 27 years and has been a member of the management team since 2010.
