A former mechanical engineer, he is a member of the Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) and also lead trainer on the financial training module for the Institute of Car Fleet Management/AFP.

In his new role, he will head up the delivery of strategic development and consultancy and will share his industry knowledge through a new series of webinars, white papers and best practice guides – details will be revealed in the coming weeks.

“Fleet Operations has established itself as a clear leader in fleet solutions by staying consistently ahead of the curve in the core areas of customer service, technology and green mobility,” Bushnell commented.

“Our services remain 100% independent of any leasing company, manufacturer or dealer group, which is essential to deliver genuinely impartial fleet management advice and tailor-made solutions which really meet clients’ needs. I’m delighted to be joining such a strong and forward-thinking team and am looking forward to leveraging my experience to help drive further growth.”

Fleet Operations said his appointment would be key in helping customers to embrace challenges such as electrification and use them to help cut costs and optimise efficiency.

Ross Jackson, CEO, Fleet Operations, added: “We recognise the importance of providing our customers with unrivalled industry expertise and a consultative approach to fleet strategy. That means having the best people available to provide insight, expertise and advice and ensures our strategy and product portfolio continuously evolves. David strengthens an already impressive team and evidences our ongoing commitment to invest in the right people to help our clients solve their mobility needs.”
