ARI Fleet UK, part of Holman Group, has appointed Adrian Phipps as its new Finance Director, as its looks to build on the successes and growth of recent years

With 25 years’ experience in finance in both commercial and operational roles, Phipps takes on a role that not only looks after ARI’s financial position, but also consults with customers about their fleet funding and management to help them make the best economic decision for their operation.

Phipps said: “One of the things that has attracted me to ARI is market opportunity. There has been impressive growth over the past two years and there is clearly an ambition to continue that upward trajectory. It is a company that is well-respected in the fleet sector, and has been introducing new technology and disruptive, innovative products such as Flexlease to great effect. It’s also a massive global fleet management player as part of the family-owned Holman Group and it’s really exciting to help leverage that amount of worldwide expertise for our customers.”

Previously, Phipps worked as finance director for global health services giant Aetna International, helping to develop customer-focused healthcare products such as video-based doctor consultancies, and sees the value proposition launched there as similar to that which ARI offers.
