The changes see Matt Hattersley appointed as national fleet sales manager, reporting directly to Skoda head of fleet Henry Williams and taking responsibility for the coordination of the corporate fleet sales team, driving the sales volume with existing customers and expanding the business into new sectors. Hattersley has worked in the Volkswagen Group for the last six years, holding a number of key senior positions.

In addition, James Watson has taken over the role as contract hire & leasing manager for the southern region, building on his experience within Volkswagen passenger cars and latterly Volkswagen Financial Services Fleet.

Henry Williams commented: “We are already at a turning point for the brand with the introduction of new vehicles and an ever-increasing market share. The next five years will be crucial for Skoda as we further develop our fleet strategy and begin to introduce hybrid and electric vehicles. I’m confident Matt and James will help to shape a positive future for the brand.”
