Groupe Renault UK has appointed Mathew Kiziuk and Jonny Berry as electric vehicle fleet sales managers to strengthen business, following a fleet team restructure.

They will support the regional leasing team with electric vehicles sales to current and potential customers, and will be regionally based to support the entire country.

Joining from the Renault dealer network where he was brand manager, Kiziuk said: “The opportunity to join Renault head office and work in a new role, supporting fleet with specialist electric vehicle sales support was very exciting.

"With a strong track record in electric vehicle sales and experience in selling to fleets this role will allow me to further develop my skills in an exciting new environment.”

Jonny Berry joins from the Nissan dealer network where he was recently awarded the Global CEO Award and named Best Overall EV Dealer for Electric vehicle performance in the UK. Berry said: “Many people can be initially sceptical about electric vehicles, particularly business.

"In the last three years the challenge of explaining the benefits of electric vehicles has been a great experience. The chance to expand this to business customers and learn a new brand is really exciting.”

Groupe Renault UK’s national fleet sales manager Mark Potter said: “The addition of Mathew and Jonny to the team has come at the perfect time.

"With Europe’s best-selling electric car in the ZOE and the recent upgrade to the Kangoo Z.E. which has extended the range by over 60%, Groupe Renault has a strong proposition for fleet customers, right here, right now!

"Whether its fleet managers looking to minimise tax liability, running costs and carbon footprint or the drivers looking to minimise their monthly costs, our range of electric vehicle products can deliver.”
