DriveTech has appointed Oliver Stevenson as national sales manager for fleets.

He joins Drivetech from BMW Group where he spent more than 15 years in different commercial roles, including a stint in the retailer network.

Most recently, Stevenson was head of affinity partnerships at Alphabet GB, responsible for developing partnerships with large corporate entities including Rivus Fleet Solutions (formerly BT Fleet Solutions), Auxillis and Circle Leasing.

Stevenson said: “I’ve been involved in various areas of the fleet and automotive sector for over 15 years and relish this new opportunity to further strengthen DriveTech’s position in the driver compliance and driver risk management arena - not only critical for road safety but for helping businesses manage their duty of care and reduce costs through preventative training measures and robust systems.

DriveTech, part of the AA, believes that Stevenson's fleet knowledge and energy and passion perfectly aligns with its customer first strategy.

Nick Butler, fleet director at DriveTech, said: “Oliver is an experienced sales leader with an excellent track record, who is well known to me and who shares our ethos of putting our customer first. 

“His appointment strengthens our proposition both in the UK and Internationally and I am really pleased that he has joined DriveTech to lead our growth in the corporate market.”

Earlier this week, DriveTech announced the appointment of Leo Taylor to the role of head of product solutions.

DriveTech also joined the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) as a gold corporate member.
