Tim White, national fleet sales manager at Hyundai

White brings more than 25 years’ automotive industry experience, and joins Hyundai from a senior management role as national fleet sales manager for Vauxhall Motors

His appointment follows the arrival of Michael Stewart as fleet director in January.

Commenting on his role, White said: “The strength of the emerging Hyundai brand as a market leader in alternative fuel vehicles, with the award-winning Ioniq, the launch of Kona Electric and the forthcoming Nexo Hydrogen Fuel Cell, means we’re attracting the interest of more and more fleet operators, including some large corporate fleets. Previously, Hyundai may not have been a consideration for these fleets so we’re making sure that now we have the product to interest them, we also have the processes and Account team expertise to deliver for them.”
