Nissan Motor (GB) Limited has promoted Barry Beeston to the position of fleet sales director, replacing Andy Woodall who recently left the company.

Commenting on his new position, Beeston said, “I am delighted to be taking over Nissan’s fleet operation. With increased brand consideration and substantial market share growth, coupled with a number of innovative products in the pipeline designed to appeal to the company car driver, Nissan is now even more relevant than ever in the fleet sector.”
