This week, on The Driven Podcast, we meet two influential people at one of the most prolific British car brands, MG and record the first-ever official podcast interview with the MG brand.Guy Pigounakis is the commercial director of MG UK, and he has an incredible story of how he first joined the brand as a rebellious teenager by knocking on the factory doors at Longbridge in the 1970s - a bold move which undoubtedly led to him sitting in the top seat today. David Allison is head of Product and Planning for MG and stems from a 25-year career in the automotive sector where he's selling everything from cars to vans before transitioning into the driving force of product planning for multiple OEMs. David is now responsible for signing off on all new MGs that are selling globally. In this unique and exclusive podcast, recorded in the London HQ of MG Motor UK, John Marcar and Charlotte Vowden sit with Guy and David to work through their individual careers' with many highs, and some challenges too and learn more about MG in the new age under its new Chinese ownership._______________________________________________The Driven Podcast brings you motoring-focused discussions, observations from the automotive world, and interviews in which we explore our guests' careers, exploits, and anything else worth discussing.We will also keep you up to speed with the latest automotive news stories and insights into the cars and motorcycles we're reviewing at Driven.
