Martin Hill has been appointed at Fleet Logistics as head of UK operations. Hill’s previous role was at LexAutolease, where he was head of corporate customer services and responsible for providing customer services to businesses operating fleets of over 500 vehicles.

As UK Operations Director, Hill will effectively run the UK business which manages around 15,000 vehicles on behalf of corporate clients, part of Fleet Logistics’ European managed fleet of some 75,000 vehicles, and will be responsible for all aspects of client services, partner and supplier relationships and business development.

Hill succeeds Martyn Gallop, who is taking up a wider European implementation role, working with some of Fleet Logistics’ largest pan European and multi-national fleet customers to help implement fleet strategy and policies.

“I am delighted to be joining Fleet Logistics at this time and am excited by its plans for further expansion and development. After over 18 years with Lloyds Banking Group, while I wasn’t necessarily looking for a change, I felt that this opportunity to join a progressive and growing company would enable me to really make a difference in the development of the UK operations.

“There are exciting plans to grow the business as well as clear career opportunities at a European level within Fleet Logistics. I see this new role as an opportunity to use my existing skillsets, develop new skills and hone those that I haven’t used for some time, to take the business to the next level,” he said.
