John Couppleditch joins the Account Management Team at Marshall Leasing

Couppleditch replaces Paul Tyler, who has recently retired, and brings with him a wealth of industry experience; he has previously worked with Peter Cakebread, Jonathan Ross and Chris Lavender when they were first starting out in vehicle leasing.

His background includes a number of strategic account management and new business acquisition roles, including at First National Group, RBS Group, ALD Automotive, Hitachi Capital. He’s also worked on developing driver training solutions and telematics and for the last 10 years has helped the introduction of contract hire as a concept into schools for their minibuses as well as fully supporting schools with compliance advice and driver training solutions.

Jonathan Ross, Marshall Leasing sales & marketing director, said: “John is a delightful fit because he can literally hit the ground running. He has held senior roles in sales management which reinforces our strategy of employing highly professional experienced consultants who are self-sufficient. John will support our customer offering, bring fresh ideas and be a genuine partner in our team. We are really delighted to have John join us and I am looking forward to working closely with him over the months and years ahead.”

Couppleditch added: “I had kept a close eye on Marshall Leasing over the years and maintained my relationships with Peter, Jonathan and Chris. I always respected the way Marshall Leasing conducted their business and looked after their customers. I guess you could say it was an ambition of mine, to join what I saw as a successful business run by people with whom I had genuine affinity. It feels like a great time to be joining especially now that Marshall is part of Northridge Finance.”
