SMA Vehicle Remarketing has made a key appointment with Graham Howes taking on the newly created position of group commercial director.

The creation of the new role reflects the growing scale and ambition of SMA as it prepares for exciting developments into 2011. 2010 saw SMA expand its operations and this move will continue in 2011, with the construction of an all new auction centre in Birmingham nearing completion.

Howes who has spent the last nine years working in a similar role for a leading refurbishment and fleet services company has an extensive track record in the industry and has major manufacture experience having worked with both Fiat Auto and Daewoo Cars.

The new role of group commercial director has been created to enable SMA Vehicle Remarketing to strengthen growth plans into new areas of the remarketing sphere, and to assist with the development of products and services to meet the growing demands of both existing and prospective customers.
