Nexus Vehicle Rental has appointed Steve Beedle as head of new business sales.

Beedle has more than 20 years of industry experience, beginning his career in the rental and leasing industry in 1995. He will work to support Nexus’ continued growth following the acquisition of the business by private equity investor, Bowmark Capital, in late 2015 with immediate duties including managing and building-up Nexus’ New Business team and sourcing new client opportunities.

He previously worked for the company in 2012 and brings with him a wealth of expertise in daily rental sales negotiation and targeting, established during over 20 years working for some of the industry’s leading operators.

Beedle said: “The position at Nexus provides me with a role in a dynamic company in an equally fast-paced industry which I love. Working as part of a forward-thinking, entrepreneurial team was a real attraction and I’m looking forward to helping take the new business pipeline from strength to strength.”

David Brennan, CEO at Nexus, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Steve back to Nexus. We couldn’t think of anyone better suited to the role and it was a natural fit to get him back onboard.

“Previously, he consistently delivered above target performance by targeting SME clients to grow revenue. We have ambitious plans this year and look forward to the professional service and strong results Steve will bring.”

Nexus will seek to further improve on its dynamic performance in 2016 by expanding its client base in existing sectors and growing into new markets.
