Synergy Car Leasing has appointed David Brockwell as its inaugural chief financial officer (CFO), supporting the next phase of its growth strategy.

L-R: Synergy Car Leasing CEO and founder Paul Parkinson with CFO David Brockwell

Brockwell most recently worked as a senior consultant within the fleet industry but also brings 12 years’ experience as the CFO and chief operating officer at Tuskerdirect and was group finance director at ION Trading Systems for five years.

His appointment is the latest for Synergy Car Leasing, which announced a raft of new team members in late 2020 and also revealed that CEO and founder Paul Parkinson was named as the new Leasing Broker Committee vice chair in November.

The latest hires come on the back of the sale of a majority stake in the leasing broker to London-based finance and advice company Newable Limited in January 2020.

Commenting on his appointment, David Brockwell said: “I’m really pleased and excited to be joining Synergy Car Leasing. The business is well placed in this dynamic market, with a solid offering and a good growth plan. I see my experience as a great fit and look forward to building on Synergy’s success to date.”

Paul Parkinson commented: “We operate in a fast-paced, competitive and highly regulated marketplace and I’m confident David will hit the ground running to achieve great things for the future of our business.”
