The role will see Osman oversee Holman’s vendor networks, including its 500-strong independent garage network, dubbed Masterserve, and its extensive relationships with main dealers and commercial vendors.

He brings a wealth of experience, including in his most recent role at Novuna Vehicle Solutions, where he was engineering services manager.

In his new position, Osman’s primary focus will be the performance and development of the Holman network and ensuring that they are appropriately audited and governed.

Nimesh Chauhan, director of Holman’s Complex brand, said: “Our network is a crucial element to our customers’ experience. Stuart’s appointment will allow us to build on the relationships that we already hold, help develop our network further and ensure discipline and accountability.

“Our network already has excellent capability, including EV and alternative fuels. However, as the market evolves, Stuart’s appointment will allow us to ensure the networks stay ahead of the curve and continue to meet the needs of our customers for today and the future.”
