The former general manager of tactical sales at Leaseplan has joined AMT Group as head of purchasing, complementing the Leeds-based company`s growth plans for its rental and contract hire business.

Langley said: “I’m delighted to be joining the team at AMT.

“I have personally known and worked with two of its senior management team Neil McGawley  - group managing director - and Craig Moran - general manager  contract hire - for many years, and have a great deal of respect for them both.

“This is a perfect fit for me, as not only is the company local to my base in Yorkshire, but it gives me the advantage of being able to assist in the growth of an already successful business with two people I hold in high regard.”

AMT Group`s planned growth is already well underway, with the acquisition of a new 50,000 square foot site in Leeds, West Yorkshire. The new site on Armley Road in Leeds, is currently under development, with plans for the move to be completed in March, 2015.

McGawley said: “We are all delighted to welcome Roy aboard, and especially pleased he will greatly assist with the strategic development and growth of the group`s activity.”
