Speaking on his appointment, he said: “We must
continue to lobby the government and its motoring agencies to
reduce the amount of bureaucracy associated with owning and
operating fleets.
“I am also keen that we build on our
relationships with manufacturers. There have been some tensions in
recent times, but we can work through these and develop a
longer-term, proactive relationship between our two
industries.”
The BVRLA has also appointed Hitachi Capital
Vehicle Solutions chief executive Simon Oliphant as chairman of the
Leasing and Fleet Management Committee, while David Brennan, MD of
LeasePlan, becomes vice-chairman.
Martin Brown, MD of Fleet Alliance, will
become chairman of the Leasing Broker Committee.
