Accelerating improvements to the customer experience through insight and testing

Toyota GB has established a new function, ConsumerOne, dedicated to improving the customer experience. Paula Cooper has been appointed to head up the operation as Director ConsumerOne, joining the company’s executive team.

She has worked at general manager level for the past 10 years, most recently in network development.

ConsumerOne is being introduced to put the changing needs of Toyota’s customers at the heart of its commercial activities.

Cooper said: “I am delighted to be given the opportunity to help deliver this exciting new venture, which promises to take consumer insights and harness the potential of new technologies and systems to achieve a more rewarding experience for our customers. The team will be working closely with other functions right across the business, including the Toyota and Lexus networks, to ensure we have the ideal platform for quick and effective development and innovation.”
