Venson Automotive Solutions appoints new group finance director

Venson Automotive Solutions has named Daire McGovern as its new group finance director.

Venson said the new appointment would contribute to the betterment of the business as a whole

McGovern has been promoted from her former position of financial controller, which she held for the last six years. Before joining Venson, she spent more than 25 years in varied financial positions, including senior roles, across multiple industries and international organisations, such as MGM and Johnson & Johnson.

A Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants (FCA), McGovern gained a wealth of knowledge in the accountancy sector, before moving to the fleet industry in 2017.

During her time at Venson, she has led the finance team, working closely with bankers, funders and auditors, as well as liaising with internal business departments, supporting the company’s success through the economic, political and trading challenges of recent years.

Samantha Roff, managing director, said: “Daire has made a fantastic impact as our financial controller. In particular, our industry has faced major upheaval since she arrived, but her senior management track record and experience allowed her to develop output that supported the business in making critical decisions.”

She added: “As she moves to become group finance director, we know that she will continue to work positively, encouraging the finance team to analyse results, achieve efficiency and contribute to the betterment of the business as a whole.”
