His appointment follows recent product and business expansion for the Cambridgeshire-based outsourced service, maintenance and repair (SMR) network management, which is looking to further develop and expand its business. 

As commercial director, St Claire’s responsibilities include the on-going expansion and development of new products and services at the company whilst supporting and growing existing business streams. 

He said: ‘The Fleet Assist business is growing rapidly as we aim to help our customers – contract hire and leasing companies – reduce their maintenance and back office costs by using our nationwide managed network of agents, analysing where savings can be made and then implementing a wide variety of projects. 

‘In addition to the recent launch of Driver Services and most recently technical authorisation to our product portfolio, Fleet Assist also plans to develop and launch further new products and services that will benefit customers.’ 

St Claire was most recently managing director for four years of fleet services provider Alliance Asset Management. Previously he has held senior posts with a number of major fleet organisations including the AA where he was commercial director of rental services, easyCar (International) and (UK) Ltd, and fleet management company Arval.
