Pendragon Contracts is expanding its team with the appointment of Mark Alder as new business manager, along with Angela Denton as account manager and Melanie Thompson as daily rental manager. The expanded team will enable Pendragon Contracts to increase levels of contact with its customers and potential customers.

Alder brings over 10 years of experience in generating new business and promoting business growth to the company, having worked for Daimler Fleet Management, LeasePlan UK, Arma and Arca Systems. The role will involve working alongside the account management team to ensure effective and seamless transfer of new customers into the company.

The expansion of our team will ensure we will continue to offer the highest level of service to our clients. I look forward to working with our three new team members to extend the business further during 2010.’
