Fleet Alliance has appointed Peter Horton as business development manager.

Horton, 41, has experience in the leasing industry with companies including Inchcape Fleet Solutions and ING Car Lease.

At Fleet Alliance he will be responsible for sales to mid-sized corporate fleets of 100-400 units on a national basis.

“We have seen considerable growth with medium to large sized corporate fleets this year and Peter’s experience in this area will be extremely useful,” said Martin Brown, managing director at Fleet Alliance.

“We have had an excellent year so far, are up 45% on last year and have plans for further recruitment,” he added.

“I am delighted to be joining Fleet Alliance at this stage in its development,” said Peter Horton. “The company’s multi-funding model is a real differentiator in the market at the moment and is an excellent way for corporate fleets to spread their credit risk across a number of funders rather than having exposure to just one company.  

“The company has a complete and comprehensive portfolio of products and services, including salary sacrifice for cars, while the latest e-fleet development will help take customer service provision to another level.

“Fleet Alliance is very professional with ambitious growth plans and I received nothing but positive feedback when I asked about the business in the industry,” he said.
