Gone from the 2016 list
There are 19 people that appeared in our 2015 Power List that aren't present in 2016, mainly because they've moved on to pastures new.
It's been all-change for politicians, with last year's table including then-chancellor George Osborne, former transport secretary Patrick McLoughlin (now Conservative party chairman) and outgoing London mayor Boris Johnson (now foreign secretary).
The car manufacturers have been busy too, with Ford, BMW, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai all appointing a new fleet boss in the past 12 months, so Nick Themistocleous (retired), Matt Bristow (moved to BCA), Barry Beeston (moved to Infiniti), Nick Andrews (now Merc remarketing director) and Martin Wilson (promoted to Hyundai sales director), respectively, have been replaced on this list.
Likewise, Alphabet's Richard Schooling and Dave Bowen of BT Fleet have moved up internally, and Graham Wheeler has left VW Financial Services to join Jaguar Land Rover.
European and US politicians respectively Voileta Bulc and Gina McCarthy also slide off the chart as the dust settles on the VW emissions scandal, with VW Group fleet boss Steve Catlin dropping for the same reason. Ed Hummel left Glass's early this year and Alistair Dougans is no longer the policy man at HMRC.
The other names not present this year are former BCA top man Spencer Lock, ARI Fleet's Keith Allen and Jane Urquhart, the driving force behind Nottingham's now well-established workplace parking levy.
