Russell was previously sales director at Santander Leasing and has held regional and national roles at Nissan GB and Audi UK, covering fleet, as well as new and used cars.

Ed Jones, sales director at Nissan GB, said: ‘”We are delighted that Russell Forbes is joining the company – it’s an exciting time for Nissan in the UK and there will be no shortage of fleet-oriented opportunities to exploit during the coming year and beyond.

“We are sure he will enjoy the challenge and we extend the warmest of welcomes.

“At the same time, we offer our heartfelt thanks to Bryan Curtis for all that he has done during his time as fleet director and send him every good wish for a long and happy retirement.”
