Mercedes-Benz Cars names Tom Brennan as new head of fleet
Former Audi head of fleet sales Tom Brennan has joined Mercedes-Benz Cars UK as its new head of fleet.
Brennan, who started his career in financial services, brings more than 16 years’ experience in the automotive industry, including nearly a decade at Volkswagen Financial Services and over six years at Audi.
He replaces Rob East, who left Mercedes-Benz Cars in September and was named as BMW’s new head of fleet in January, in turn replacing Steve Oliver who left last spring.
Brennan’s appointment at Mercedes-Benz comes ahead of the launch this year of the carmaker’s fully electric EQC, along with new plug-in hybrid C-Class and E-Class models.
Mercedes-Benz Cars UK sales director Rachael Thompson commented: “Fleet sales have been crucial to Mercedes-Benz Cars’ continued growth in the UK. Tom brings with him great experience in the premium automotive sector and we are confident that he will continue this team’s great success.”
