Simon Coulton will work with companies to offer tailored fleet solutions and is tasked with growing ARI’s portfolio in East Anglia and the South East.

Previously holding positions at Lombard and Millhouse Leasing, Coulton has extensive experience in the fleet industry, with over 15 years in sales account management specifically.

He joins ARI during a period of growth for the company, following several new contract wins, and will play a key role in driving the business forward alongside the company’s three existing salespeople located throughout the UK.

Jason Chamberlain, ARI sales director, said: ‘ARI understands that to deliver the best we need to hire the best. With Simon’s knowledge of the fleet industry, we are confident that we can make significant headway as we look to continue growing the business in the UK.’

Reflecting on his new role, Coulton said: ‘It’s great to be joining the world’s leading independent fleet management company as it gets set to expand. ARI has built a culture of excellence and continuous improvement, always putting people first and developing employees through initiatives such as its dedicated university programme. I’m looking forward to being part of its future success.'
