LOOKERS has appointed Tony Dray as its new fleet and commercial director.
Tony will be heading up Lookers’ 14 commercial and nine fleet centres and will be sitting on the operations board reporting directly to Lookers’ managing director, Nigel McMinn.
Tony Dray said on his appointment;
“After 30 years with the same company, building something I became very proud of, it needed to be a truly fantastic opportunity to have enticed me away.
The mix of both volume and prestige brands means that we can offer customers real choice
“Lookers Plc was that opportunity. With 120 sites representing over 30 franchises, our offering is truly unique. The mix of both volume and prestige brands means that we can offer customers real choice, industry leading service levels, and relationships that last – even if their choice of manufacturer changes.
“Lookers already has a fantastic team and to strengthen this we have appointed Dan Middleton and David Chilvers as National Account Directors and Liz Williams as Customer Service Director.”
Lookers also confirmed the new appointments of David Chilvers and Dan Middleton as National Account Directors and Liz Williams as Customer Service Director, working within the same section.
Other roles confirmed today include Andrew McGinnis and Simon Preston as Fleet National Account Managers and Chris Pritchard as Ford CV Manager.
Nigel McMinn, Lookers Managing Director, said;
“Our continued investment within the Fleet market is part of our growth strategy and I am thrilled that Tony has joined Lookers. Fleet success is built around great people, process and the service levels we offer. I now have every confidence we have the best team possible to take our Fleet division to the next level.”
Tony was previously a stalwart at Ford’s retail group, renamed TrustFord, where he was fleet and commercial director. Tony’s position at TrustFord was taken by Mark Wilkie in late 2014.
