The Vehicle Remarketing Association (VRA) has appointed three new directors to its board.

Steve Jackson (Glass’s), Lee Mabbutt (Smart Fleet Solutions) and Sam Watkins (Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground) join nine other longstanding directors.

VRA chairman John Davies said: “I’m delighted to welcome Steve, Lee and Sam to the VRA Board and am sure that their varied and extensive experience will bring new perspectives to our general industry initiatives.

"I would particularly like to thank the outgoing directors whom they are replacing - Tim Maffey (GE Capital) and Jeremy Raggett (BMW), both of whom have had recent changes in roles."

Mark Harris from Honda is soon to retire.

Davies added: "Mark was one of the founder members of the VRA and has contributed significantly to the Association since its formation six years ago.”
