LEPAS appoints UK leadership team
Automotive brand LEPAS has appointed Gary Lan as chief executive of LEPAS UK, alongside Ray Wang as managing director, ahead of its UK launch.
Gary will oversee the strategic development of the brand, while continuing in his roles with OMODA&JAECOO UK and Chery UK.
Ray will support the operational rollout of the business, bringing experience from previous UK launches of OMODA and JAECOO.

Gary said: “Introducing LEPAS to the UK represents an exciting new chapter for our global business.
“The British market is one of the most dynamic and competitive in Europe, and we are committed to building a brand that delivers innovation, strong value and a high-quality customer experience.
“I am delighted to welcome Ray Wang to the team as managing director as we begin this journey together.”
Ray added: “LEPAS arrives with a clear ambition to establish itself as a distinctive new choice for UK customers.
“Working alongside Gary and the wider team, we look forward to building a strong organisation and the dedicated retail network that supports the brand’s long-term success in this market.”
