Fleet software company Jaama has promoted Martin Evans to the role of managing director, replacing Jason Francis, who moves to the newly created position of chief executive.

Evans, who has a 25-year fleet industry career behind him and joined Jaama in 2005, takes over responsibility for day-to-day business management and growth.

Meanwhile, Francis, who founded Jaama in 2004, takes on a business expansion and long-term development of the company as chief executive.

Evans, who spent eight years with fuel card provider and fleet management company Harpur Group and then Car Fleet Control, said: “Growth has been fuelled by a combination of the capability and ongoing evolution of our software system allied to the service and support we provide to customers.”
