Phillips 66 Limited has appointed Rupert Turner as its new managing director, UK marketing.

Originally from the UK, Rupert has been working out of the Houston office as part of the US marketing team and has been with Phillips 66 since 1989.

“Rupert is an experienced marketer and I know that I am passing the baton to safe and experienced hands” says Renee Semiz, who is leaving the role of managing director to take up the post of manager, Base Oils in the Global Lubricants organisation, back in the US.

“I have had the privilege to lead an exceptional team in London and I am proud of the work we have achieved together and the challenges we have overcome.”

Rupert joins at an exciting and progressive time for Phillips 66 and the JET brand with an ever-increasing focus on emerging energies and a continuation of the lauded customer-first approach.

A tangible buzz

“What a time to be returning to London and joining the UK Marketing team!” says Rupert Turner “The work around emerging energies is exceptional and there is a tangible buzz around the JET brand which goes from strength-to-strength. I can’t wait to get started and am looking forward to meeting our customers throughout the UK.”

Rupert will take up the role with immediate effect and Renee will stay in the UK until early October to ensure a smooth and seamless handover.
