Inchcape Fleet Solutions has appointed Stuart Perham as technology director.

Perham joins from Kia Motors (UK), where he was based for the last seven years. At Kia, he was responsible for all of the company’s UK and Ireland systems and most recently rolled-out SAP ERP in the UK, Italy, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

At Inchcape Fleet Solutions, his remit will involve a hands-on approach to the review and enhancement of the company’s IT and IS provision, building upon the company’s outstanding reputation as a technology-centric fleet provider.

Perham said: “Inchcape Fleet Solutions is a leading authority in the fleet management and contract hire market and I am extremely pleased at this chance to develop the IS and IT offerings.

“Inspecting the systems already in existence here, the company boasts innovative online solutions to cater for risk management, grey fleet management, salary sacrifice, vehicle downtime, quoting and reporting to name but a few.

“The sheer degree of accessibility and convenience this creates for customers of Inchcape Fleet Solutions is paramount, but I believe there is still scope to make that experience even better.”

Steve Archer, Inchcape UK’s fleet services director, said: “Stuart brings a great deal of experience to the business, having worked in a similarly demanding role at Kia Motors.

“We are all extremely pleased to have him onboard and look forward to the innovation and positive change he will bring to the company.”
