Volkswagen Financial Services has appointed two new Strategic Fleet Sales Managers to help drive its large fleet market share.

Jonathan Ellis and Chris Raynsford both join VWFS from Lex Autolease, where they held senior business development roles managing corporate new business fleet contracts.

With almost 40 years of industry experience between them, the pair will be responsible for helping build awareness of the company’s multi-marque fleet offering amongst the large fleet sector (200+ vehicles).

Jonathan, who will look after new business in the North, said: “VWFS offers a flexible approach to the fleet sector. It is able to provide customers with an excellent portfolio of finance agreements and maintenance solutions as well as an extensive range of multi marque commercial and passenger vehicles.

“It then tops it off with a great culture that allows people to grow and use their initiative and skills, providing customers with what they need at a competitive price with excellent customer service.”

Chris Raynsford, responsible for Southern regions, added: “Volkswagen Financial Services continues to make strides into the large corporate market.  The business offers a full range of fleet products and services at a very competitive price and is extremely focused on making the business a great place to work, which in turn leads to the provision of truly excellent customer service.”

Ian Tilbrook, VWFS Fleet Director, commented: “Over the last year, we have made some significant wins with public sector and mid-market fleets and with these new engagements, we will be able to make a greater impact in the large corporate fleet sector.”

Volkswagen Financial Services is currently the fastest growing UK fleet business with half of the 540k vehicles sold across the VW Group in 2014 going to fleets.

VW has been busy strengthening its fleet sales team recently too. A new Head of Fleet Services for the entire VW Group started work mid-July while two new Area Fleet Managers for the North East and South East of England started in May.
