Synergy Car Leasing has appointed 10 new members to the team on the back of strong growth over the year, led by demand for electric vehicles.

The leasing broker has recruited its first customer service manager within the client services team, a trio of appointments to the data team, four sales accounts managers and two further hires in client services.

The role of customer services manager has been filled by Lisa Wells while graduates Frank Dawson and Connell Healy join as data analysts and Liam Finnerty has been promoted to data team supervisor.

The team has also been expanded with the appointments of Rob Clarke, Adam Owen, Ben Kaye and Daniel Chammings as account managers while Martin O’Neill has been appointed as vehicle rental sales and client services support executive and Jack Clifton takes up the position of Client Services Support.

The appointments take the company to 50 employees and come at a time of increased growth at Synergy Car Leasing, which it says has been driven by demand for flexible, convenient leasing solutions for both personal and business customers, with electric vehicles at the forefront.

Synergy CEO and founder Paul Parkinson was also named as the new Leasing Broker Committee vice chair at the BVRLA last month; a role that will see him work with association members to capitalise on the growth of big-ticket online transactions and work together to support and promote the leasing broker sector and its customers.

Parkinson said: “Our recruitment drive, providing valuable jobs in the region, concludes another strong year for us. Creating these important roles shows that despite difficult market conditions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we’ve adapted to this year’s challenges and it’s great to see how everybody at Synergy has pulled together to support each other. We’re excited to see what we can achieve together in 2021.”
