FORMER manager of international fleet accounts at leasing company GE Capital Fleet Services,Angus Leeson has joined The Miles Consultancy (TMC) as global account director.

In his new role at the specialist fuel expenses and corporate mobility services provider, Angus will be responsible for developing the company’s fuel card and audited mileage capture business in Europe, the US and other areas.

The appointment comes as TMC responds to greater demand for fleet fuel and mileage cost management solutions.

TMC says that its audited mileage capture solution is already used by more than 100,000 drivers in Europe and the UK.

Its recently-launched Fuel+ fuel card, a partnership with Barclaycard, offers international fleet operators an integrated solution for controlling fuel purchases and mileage claims.

Angus said: “Many of our corporate customers have a presence in Europe and North America as well as the UK.

“They want the facility to purchase fuel securely across all countries – which Fuel+ gives them, as it’s a Chip & PIN-secured fuel card with VISA acceptance.

“At the same time, the TMC audit system applies rigorous checking procedures to mileage reports regardless of which country the driver is based in.

“So we offer international fleet operators a combination of reach, control and valuable management information, with multi-lingual sales and customer support service.”

His most previous role was at Fleet Alliance, winner of the Small Fleet Leasing Company of the Year, having joined the award-winning Glasgow based operation after 10 years with GE.

TMC managing director Paul Jackson commented: “Fleet operators everywhere are grappling with common issues around fuel acquisition and measuring the productivity of their employees’ mileage.

“We see very strong growth potential for the Fuel+ card and Mileage Audit in Europe and elsewhere.”
