Cheshire-based ROI will take on the management of Nissan’s Fleet Business Centre and dealer fleet coaching as part of the agreement.

The Graymatter project will see the company working with Nissan and its established partner Salesforce to specify, design and build a new dedicated online platform optimised for Nissan requirements.

This aims to enable members of Nissan’s fleet team to provide customers with more support and increase engagement.

He replaced Iker Lazarri, who left earlier in the year.
