Mr Evangelista has experience not only with Volkswagen but two decades of working in the automotive business from both the retail and distributor side of the industry.

He was previously regional sales manager for Inchcape Australia and operations executive and dealer principal for NSW for Automotive Holdings Group (AHG) before its takeover by Eagers Automotive.

He has also held the position of NSW area sales manager for Volkswagen Group Australia.

Mr Evangelista said: “Volkswagen is a brand that I have a strong affinity with. My family are Volkswagen owners and to be part of the amazing team and join one the biggest Volkswagen dealerships in Sydney, is truly a privilege.”

The Denlo Volkswagen team said they were delighted to have Mr Evangelista on board and welcome his wealth of knowledge and new ideas for future years.
