Dominic Moran (pictured), account management director at the vehicle management division of the Leasedrive Group, has been appointed to the executive board of the group.

Roddy Graham, commercial director at the Leasedrive Group, said: "Dominic has led the account management team for many years and was promoted to his current position in March 2011. Since then, he has demonstrated outstanding leadership skills, work ethic and a singular focus on customer care and retention, especially during the successful integration of the Masterlease UK business in the first half of 2011.

"His organisational ability, combined with a very calm and balanced approach, ensured that our blue chip customers were all very well supported and cared for during this transitional period and has ensured continuity thereafter.

"We are therefore absolutely delighted to recognise Dominic's dedication, loyalty, knowledge and experience with this important appointment to the board."

Prior to his appointment as account management director of the Leasedrive Group in 2011, Dominic Moran worked for Masterlease UK for 18 years and latterly held the position of head of strategic and corporate accounts for five years.

He joined Masterlease UK from a market research agency after gaining a Business Studies degree.

Within the sales division, he worked in business development, rising to become a business development manager before being appointed head of strategic accounts.
