Benjamin Braun is set to leave his role as marketing and digital director at Audi UK next year, the Volkswagen-owned brand has confirmed.

"Benjamin has been a positive influence to the business since joining in 2016 and has led a very successful marketing department. Audi UK wishes him well in the next stage of his career outside of the automotive industry and the process to find a successor is already under way."
