The start point for the best source of fleet information |
ALD has been quietly going about its business this year, and added another 10,000 units to its books at the last count, keeping it just in front of Arval - until its rival completes the purchase of GE Capital's fleet book.
It will be a busy time for Audi over the next few months, with the long-awaited launch of the new A4. Douglas oversaw Audi passing premium arch-rival BMW to grab fourth place in the fleet sales chart last year, although BMW fleet boss Matt Bristow can also call on Mini registrations, hence his higher placing in our Power List.
A slight drop in BMW's fleet registrations in a market on the up last year are partly to blame for Bristow sliding a few places this year. The revised 3-series is currently arriving on UK shores, while the next big news will be the all-new 7-series and Mini's new Clubman.
At a time where the spotlight is on diesel emissions like never before, Boris's plans for a low-emissions zone in London, coming in 2020, make him look a pioneer.
In PSA's restructure late last year, Gurney took on responsibility for all Citroen and DS fleet sales, as well as Peugeot, bumping him up our list. He replaced the Paris-bound Phil Robson as Peugeot fleet boss in late 2013, and will oversee the fleet element of PSA's attempt to spin-off the DS brand as a separate premium entity.

Until that little emissions-related issue kicked off in the US, things were going well for VW, which recorded a 9.1% increase in fleet registrations last year to cement its third spot in the sales chart. This year, it has added the new Passat and a number of new variants, while the new Tiguan was top of BusinessCar's list of new business models revealed at the recent Frankfurt motor show.
Hummel has overseen the launch of GlassForecast, the company's valuation tool, which sees it make a renewed challenge to Cap's position in terms of future values. Glass's is also looking to become more transparent in terms of how it arrives at its values, and is keen to open dialogue with the industry.
Seen as the number one influencer by manufacturers in terms of residual value predictions, Ward is the only person to have appeared in every single BusinessCar Power List over the past decade, illustrating the breadth of his experience.
