BusinessCar Power List 2014

Date: 20 October 2014   |   Author:

19  Graham Wheeler Volkswagen Financial Services, Managing director (No change)

 Wheeler has now passed the 10-year mark at the head of VWFS, which sits comfortably in the UK's top six leasing firms thanks to healthy growth in 2013.

18  Boris Johnson London Mayor (Up 5)

After launching his bikes and new buses, Boris has turned his attention towards cars once more. As well as another congestion charge price hike to £11.50 per day, he is leading the air pollution-related battle against diesel cars by threatening to bill any diesel not meeting Euro6 emissions legislation a further £10 per day to enter the city.

17  James Douglas Audi, Fleet sales director (Up one)

It's been a relatively quiet time for Audi - the new plug-in A3 E-tron is due by the end of the year, and next year should be a big one with the new A4 a little overdue - but despite that, Audi has closed the gap to BMW, with there now being a little over 5000 fleet registrations between them.

16  Patrick McLoughin Government, Transport secretary (Down one)

There hasn't been too much from the Department for Transport this year, though it is pushing forward with plans for driverless cars. Early next year, three cities in the UK will be allowed to test autonomous cars with a longer-term view of establishing the technology.

15  Mel Dawson ALD Automotive, Managing director (Up one)

Dawson has overseen ALD Automotive's move above Alphabet into the top five UK leasing firms thanks to a growth of nearly 6000 units in its funded fleet.

14  Benoit Dilly Arval, Chief executive (No change)

The leasing firm has made recent big strides in its digital offering, with the Arval Smart Experience set of tools including mobile-optimised website, an app aimed at improving driver behaviour, and a social media offering. Dilly has joined the BVRLA management committee, helping him stay just above Dawson in our rankings.

13  Matt Bristow BMW, General manager, corporate sales (New entry)

Bristow stepped up from his previous role as head of used cars and internal sales to replace Steve Chater late last year, and has overseen the fleet introduction of the electric i3 and i8 models, with the new 2-series range, X4, 4-series range and revised X3 all also keeping him busy.

12  Denis Keenan KeeResources, Managing director (Down one)

The driving force behind the KwikCarcost whole-life cost data used by BusinessCar among myriad other services, KeeResources continues to grow its influence in the industry, headed by the enthusiastic Keenan.

11  Michael O'Shea Volkswagen, Head of VW Fleet

O'Shea has this year had the e-Up and e-Golf electric pair to introduce to the market, and is now building up to the launch of the new Passat.
