TRG Vehicle Hire has appointed Rebecca McBride to the role of national sales manager – helping to underpin the company’s planned growth.

In her newly appointed role, McBride will be responsible for managing all long-term corporate customer relations. Currently, individual branches manage all retail contacts, but McBride’s role will be to look after clients from a national perspective. Her initial focus will be across London, the south, south-east and Kent.

McBride comes with more than 13 years’ experience in the vehicle hire sector, where her last role was sales manager for Northgate Vehicle Hire. Her responsibilities included identifying target small and medium enterprises as sales prospects for vehicle hire, creating and maintaining a new business development plan and negotiating contracts.

Nigel Schroder, managing director at TRG, commented: “We’re delighted to welcome Rebecca to the team, and look forward to working with her. Her appointment follows hot-on-the-heels of Stuart Riddick’s recent appointment into the role of operations director and will help to support our planned national expansion.”

McBride added: “This is an exciting opportunity, and I am keen to see TRG grow – the company has some ambitious plans, and – I believe – real potential. The management team has worked hard to get the right people in place, and I look forward to being part of what is sure to be a success story.”
