Williams was previously Skoda’s head of planning and supply and brings with him a wealth of fleet expertise, having previously served as the brand’s national fleet sales manager between 2013 and 2015.

He commented: “It’s an exciting time to be heading up the Skoda fleet operation. Our model line-up is stronger than ever before, with recent additions such as the all-new Superb giving company car drivers and fleet managers a brilliant blend of practicality, affordability and style. I’m looking forward to getting started.”

Duncan Movassaghi, brand director for Skoda UK, added: “Henry has been a crucial part of Skoda’s success in the UK over the past three years. His experience in the fleet market – combined with his passion, enthusiasm and drive – will ensure our sales continue to go from strength to strength.”
