ARI Fleet UK has announced the appointment of Lee Smylie as corporate business development manager.
Smylie will be tasked with developing opportunities with corporate clients looking to make efficiency savings within their fleet through both finance and fleet management solutions.
He has 20 years of finance experience, including eight years with Volkswagen Financial Services.
Smylie said: “I’m excited to be joining ARI Fleet UK at a time of strategic growth. ARI has a common objective throughout the business to continue the success of recent years.
“Businesses are always looking for different ways to become as efficient as possible, no more so than in the last couple of years. The ARI products and services, supported by the in-depth knowledge and experience through the business, are a fantastic proposition to support our customer base to achieve their results.
“2022 will be a challenging market with various issues such as Covid, Brexit recovery and vehicle and parts supply issues shaping fleet decisions. This gives us at ARI an opportunity to help businesses inwardly review how they operate their fleets and work collaboratively towards identifying and executing an improved solution.”
ARI Fleet UK sales director Rory Mackinnon said: “I am very excited about Lee’s appointment and how this will strengthen our presence in the fleet market.
“Lee comes with a great track record of supporting fleet users, working with them in a consultative manner to maximise their fleets’ return on investment.”
