Role

Reporting to the Fleet Director, as well as the UK Van & Truck Director, you will be responsible for managing all aspects of LCV fleet procurement and supply chain operations.

Continuously evaluating future residual values and adjusting the fleet to capture the highest financial equity at the optimal time.

Collaborating with the wider remarketing team to enhance and optimize disposal channels geographically across the UK, maximizing profit on sales while minimizing vehicle movement costs and reducing the carbon footprint.

Managing relationships with body-builders (both independent and one-stop-shop) to enhance vehicle desirability with minimal sector-specific conversions. Ensure the acquisition of correct CAP IDs for residual values and timely vehicle delivery in line with pre-agreed build duration SLAs.

• Experience of LCV fleet acquisition, particularly with major OEMs and remarketing.
• In-depth knowledge of e-Vans, including their optimal specifications and holding periods.
• Understanding of the ZEV Mandate, new regulations and the ability to advise on technological advancements, including hydrogen and alternative fuels.
