Activa Contracts has expanded its sales team with a string of promotions and appointments with “further recruits in the pipeline”.

The group has promoted Sally Lewis from the position of South West area manager to the newly-created position of national sales manager with responsibility for what will be an 11-strong sales team.

Sales and marketing director Lisa Temperton said: “Sally is hard-working, diligent, and consistent in her performance with a focus on attention to detail, which are all attributes that are essential in delivering top-class fleet account management and customer service.”

Peter Renton has been promoted from the position of area manager covering the East Midlands and East Anglia, to head up a newly-created four-strong sales resource department.

Steve Callaghan joins from Vauxhall as area manager for the Midlands.

Meanwhile, Temperton is busy recruiting two further area managers. She said: “That strategy, and a willingness to deliver bespoke and not ‘off-the-shelf’ products is proving successful in securing new fleet contracts and thus we require greater resource to manage the business wins and deliver first-class in-life vehicle management.”
