HYUNDAI’s newly shaped fleet business includes the appointment of a National Contract Hire Manager dedicated to dealing with leasing companies.

Gareth Thomas will lead a three man team as part of a new Aftersales Charter. The Fleet Support team located within Hyundai customer services is available either by email or telephone to all contract hire and leasing companies.

Director of Fleet Michael Stewart said that Hyundai is strengthening its business offering this year, but added that it would be looking for sustainable growth in the fleet sector rather than short cycle business.

Last year Hyundai sold 50,571 units in the fleet and business sector – 56% of its total volume in the UK.

All of its 163 dealers are now charged with selling into small businesses with sub-25 fleets.

There are also 15 large fleet centres established around the country, each having national fleet delivery capability and pre-delivery inspection capacity for over 1,000 vehicles.

Stewart said: “I believe Hyundai now has all the necessary ingredients to build on the progress that it has made in the fleet sector during recent years.

“Importantly, though, we’re not chasing volumes. Our strategy is closely aligned to sustainable growth in true fleet sales.”
