Northgate Vehicle Hire has appointed Dylan Jones as its new UK operations director.

Jones has a great amount of experience in a variety of industries in both operational and commercials roles, and prior to his appointment with Northgate he ran the UK, Italian, French and Spanish B2B operations for Staples for over four years.

Bob Contreras, Northgate Vehicle Hire’s CEO, said: “Dylan brings extensive senior management experience to Northgate, having worked both in the UK and overseas for Coats Viyella, Tetley Group, Filtrona Plc and Staples, so we are thrilled to have him on board.”

Jones said: “I have been fortunate enough to work for some well respected brands over the years, and joining Northgate at this time, following the many positive changes in the business, provides me with a hugely exciting challenge. With the strong team which is in place I’m looking forward to helping Northgate build on its current market leading position.”
