Coombs has over 10 years’ experience in the fleet, lease and car rental industries and was previously regional business development director for East Midlands and East Anglia at Europcar, and business development manager at Enterprise Rent-a-Car.

Commenting on his appointment, he said: ‘Autoglass lives up to its reputation for delivering quality of service and value for money. I’m excited to be joining a dynamic team dedicated to delivering this for a wide range of fleet and lease customers, and I look forward to continuing to develop relationships with both new and existing customers.’

Jeremy Rochfort, national sales manager, commented: ‘Vehicle glass is almost always a stress purchase but for our fleet customers vehicle downtime for repair and replacement can be costly. At Autoglass, this is why we are particularly proud of the level of quality and value we bring our customers through our expert technicians and commercial sales operations.

‘John’s knowledge, experience, and strong track record of driving sales make him the perfect fit for the team. John’s appointment cements the team’s expansion over the past year and reflects our on-going commitment to the UK’s fleet, lease and rental sectors.’
