Renault promotes from within
Renault UK has promoted Peter Horton to head of fleet and used vehicles.
Horton will oversee the brand’s entire fleet sales division and also be responsible for remarketing and residual value management. He assumes his new role after over four years as the brand’s national corporate sales manager.
His appointment comes as the brand progresses to the next stage of its ‘Renaulution’ strategy, with the manufacturer’s extensive range of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles set to grow with a host of important new additions in 2022.
Horton said: “The fleet industry is experiencing an unprecedented and significant shift in the channel mix, all of which has been driven by changing global conditions. With a fantastic team and an excellent product portfolio that seeks to combine customers’ requirements in terms of electrification, connectivity and availability, we are in a strong position to help fleets with all their future mobility needs.”
Guillaume Sicard, country head UK and managing director, Renault UK, said: “I am delighted to see Peter take a very well-deserved step up to his new role. He is a huge asset to the business and is very highly respected within Renault UK and the industry. His extensive experience will prove invaluable as we enter the next stage of our ‘Renaulution’ strategy, which will see us ramp up our electrification plans and significantly enhance our zero-emissions-in-use offering to business users.”
