Martin Sawkins walks out on human resources director role at AA

Leading human resources professional Martin Sawkins has left his role at the AA motoring services group, Personnel Today understands.

Sawkins, HR director since 2002, becomes the latest executive to leave the AA since its £6bn tie-up with Saga in June.

According to an AA spokesperson, a restructure has meant the company’s HR function is coming under central control in the new holding company formed by the merged organisations, and Sawkins has decided to move on.
