Sir Charles John Bartlett

The 40-year old Charles John Bartlett was appointed Managing Director of Vauxhall Motors Limited in succession to Evans, because allegedly his capabilities had been noted during the investigations and financial planning that preceded the purchase of Vauxhalls in 1925.
...
However, a story at the time was that Sloan asked Mooney to pick an Englishman to run Vauxhall, and Mooney suggested that they pick Bartlett, as "he's about as English as they come".
...
Bartlett was born in 1889 to a modest family from Bibury, Gloucestershire.He received training in business methods from Bath Technical College specialising in accounting.During the First World War he gained the rank of sergeant having joined the Devonshire regiment.He was injured in Loos and later served in the Middle East and then joined G.M. Limited in 1919 as a clerk at £3 per week.In 1921 he joined General Motors Limited at Hendon as an accounting clerk.In August 1926, Bartlett was appointed Managing Director of Limited in succession to Riley, only to move across to Vauxhall in the same year.
...
Bartlett remained as Managing Director of G.M. Limited until the company was dissolved in 1934.However, Bartlett was also appointed a director of the British G.M. subsidiaries, Delco-Remy & Hyatt Limited in 1930 and then AC-Sphinx Sparking Plug Company Limited in 1931.
...
Bartlett was apparently quite off-handed towards Mooney: the latter had allowed him a considerable degree of independence on the basis that British managers understood British workers better.
...
However, a few years later, after Mooney had resigned, Edward C. Riley wrested back control over Vauxhall and the two apparently failed to see eye-to-eye until Bartlett finally retired.[35]
