Alphabet boosts rental services with new appointments

James Duff-Green has been appointed customer relations manager within the corporate mobility team, while Gary MacDonald joins as rental sales manager.

Moving from Hitachi Capital, Duff-Green brings to Alphabet 17 years’ of experience, in rental of both cars and commercials, corporate and consumer, in UK and International markets.

MacDonald joins Alphabet from Leasedrive Rental Management where he was responsible for managing a portfolio of more than 230 customers and driving new acquisitions.

The appointments strengthen Alphabet’s unified Corporate Mobility sales approach, which includes the option to book rental bookings that can range from 30 minutes to a week (AlphaCity), one day + (AlphaRent) and 30 days up to 12 months (Lead In Fleet).

Kit Wisdom, head of corporate mobility, said: ‘We’re in a market-leading position as the only leasing company in the UK to offer flexible mobility solutions from as short as 1 hour up to many years. This innovative product portfolio is designed to meet customers real, every day needs and these appointments are designed to keep us ahead of the rest of the field.

‘James has an operational and account management background focusing on continuous improvement and is looking forward to meeting with customers to help develop an even more successful Rental business for the future.’

Nick Butler, head of wholesale funding, intermediaries and rental services, added: ‘Gary has a strong background in managing Rental portfolios as well as developing new business which will strengthen our already well established Corporate Mobility team.’
