Mr Carr has been promoted after four years at LeasePlan, most recently as regional director of LeasePlan’s sister franchise brand, Network. Prior to that, he was general manager of sales at FleetLine.

He brings over a decade’s experience in the fleet industry, gained in roles spanning manufacturer-owned, bank-owned and independent vehicle-leasing services. He has also this year completed an MBA from the University of Bedfordshire.

In his new role, Mr Carr will work closely with Matthew Dyer, commercial director at LeasePlan UK, and will have overall responsibility for FleetLine brand’s positioning and business strategy.

Simon Carr said of his appointment: 'As other major players move away from servicing small fleets, I see a huge opportunity for FleetLine to grow its market share by providing the very best corporate practices and latest technology to small fleets. I am delighted to have the opportunity to lead the business in an exciting period of growth. As specialists in remote small fleet management, FleetLine has the specific expertise required to meet the complex, varied needs of our clients – whether they are SMEs or major corporations, requiring one or 100 vehicles.'
