VOLKSWAGEN Financial Services has confirmed that former LeasePlan Director of Network and LeasePlan Sales Director has joined as its new Head of Sales and Marketing.
Based in the Milton Keynes headquarters, Tom – who started in May – now heads up a team of 33 people with a remit across all sales activities, customer management and engagement, enhancing the VWFS | Fleet portfolio as well as developing relationships with key business partners.
Tom commented:
“The business car market is facing challenges. With an unattractive company car tax regime reducing demand and high levels of competition pushing down margins we have to look at new ways of differentiating ourselves and continuing our strong organic growth.
“One of our advantages is being part of both a large automotive group and a robust financial institution; this gives us the scope and resources to offer the latest products and services that are at the same time cost effective for our customers and profitable for us.”
Ian Tilbrook, Fleet Director at Volkswagen Financial Services, added:
“I’m delighted Tom is joining us at this important stage of our organisations development, he will play a key role in our future strategic growth.”
