THE Fleet Alliance Group has expanded its management team with two new senior appointments.
The Glasgow-based broker and fleet management specialist said it wanted to continue the growth of its business. The current number of vehicles under management had enlarged beyond 28,000.
To effect this further growth, Angela Summers has joined as Head of Operations from Shell UK; Marc Murphy has joined as Head of Marketing, having previously been Director of Customer Acquisition and Marketing at UK energy supplier, Our Power.
Summers will report to Finance and Operations Director, Angela Robertson; Murphy
to Managing Director, Martin Brown.
”We are delighted to welcome Angela and Marc to the business,” commented Managing Director Brown. “We are confident they will make a real difference to the
way the business is run over the coming months and years.
Our business, which now encompasses Neva Consultants, Intelligent Car Leasing and
Intelligent Van Leasing, is up year-on-year and we see further growth potential in 2019. We also have our eyes on another acquisition if the right opportunity comes along.
“Given that background, we wanted to position the senior team in such a way that allowed
us to take full advantage of the opportunities that present themselves and believe these two new appointments will be fundamental to that.”
Angela Summers is a Six Sigma Green Belt accredited operations executive. She has a proven track record of effectively executing lean solutions to drive continuous improvement and standardisation throughout an organisation.
Before joining Fleet Alliance, Angela was Operations Manager – Employee
Expenditure for Shell Business Operations based in Glasgow. Her responsibilities included
delivering all strategic and operational aspects of travel and expenditure processes.
Summers will have four direct and 15 indirect reports in her new role.
“Although it is very early days yet, I am working towards bringing in the standardisation of
processes necessary to help the business move up the next level of its development,” she
said.
Marc Murphy, prior to joining Fleet Alliance, was responsible for developing the UK brand
and marketing strategy for Our Power – a not-for-profit organisation backed by the Scottish
Government.
Marc is an experienced marketing professional with a background in developing high-performing marketing strategies for a number of growth-oriented businesses. Murphy will be responsible for all strategic marketing developments at Fleet Alliance.
He said: “Fleet Alliance has a strong and experienced leadership team, an impressive growth record in the UK fleet market and carries a reputation for outstanding service to its customers. Building on these successes and developing a marketing strategy that further enhances the company’s market position, will be a key aim of this new role.
“Looking ahead, there is a huge opportunity to capitalise on the evolving needs of the
customer by continuing to innovate with new services, in what is becoming an increasingly
fast-moving technology-focused industry. I look forward to helping Fleet Alliance deliver on its ambitious plans for the future.”
The Glasgow-based broker was recently awarded Best Large Leasing Broker; Best Large Customer Service; and Best Green Broker in the Leasing Broker Federation’s Broker Awards 2018.
