The move has been made in recognition of his service to the industry body and in recognition of his unique position in the remarketing sector.

Philip Nothard, chair at the VRA, said: “Glenn has been a stalwart of the VRA since its inception and continues to play a valuable role as a director. We wanted to create a position for him that shows both our appreciation of his service in the past and the extensive expertise that he continues to bring to the organisation.

“Hence the creation of the role of ambassador, which both signifies his position within the VRA and will allow us to maximise his unique skillset in the future.”

Sturley was a founding member of the VRA in 2007 and served as chair from 2017 to 2019, as well as being deputy for the previous five years.

In his career, he has been remarketing director at Lex Autolease and managing director of WeWantAnyCar.com, as well as managing director of his own company for more than 30 years.

Sturley added: “I’m very pleased to continue my involvement with the VRA and honoured to be named as ambassador. The organisation has very much been on an upwards swing in recent years and I’m aiming to contribute to its ongoing success.”
