Responsible for: architecture, design and maintenance of customer relationship management (CRM) system; sales and marketing strategies; recruitment; training; compensation plans; sales forecasting; lead generation; and customer retention. Created a business plan which secured a Network Vehicles franchise from Dial Contracts, which was the UK’s fourth largest leasing company (before it was acquired by Leaseplan in 2000); secured further funding lines with British Car Contracts (which later rebranded to Lombard Vehicle Management, a division of the Royal Bank of Scotland); and Lex Vehicle Partners (which – through mergers and acquisitions – evolved into Lex Autolease, the UK’s largest leasing company and part of the Lloyds Banking Group). Highlights include: forming a strategic partnership with Vauxhall Motors in 1998 to deliver circa 1,400 new Vauxhall Corsa contracts within a 7-month period, which led to key account status with both Vauxhall Motors and GMAC UK, though its Vauxhall Masterhire and Interleasing brands; and forming a strategic partnership with Nissan in 2000, supplying circa 1,000 Nissan Micra contracts within a 3-month period, which were strategically funded through Ford Credit Europe (FCE), keen to diversify their portfolio and establish a multi-marque leasing presence.
