Seat UK has announced the appointment of Lindsay Ephgrave as area fleet manager for the East.

Ephgrave (pictured), who has previously worked at the Volkswagen Group for 17 years, will be working across East Anglia supporting Seat’s corporate customers.

Having joined in 2001, she has held roles in the customer care department before moving to the group fleet department.

Ephgrave said: “I’m joining the fleet team at a real watershed moment for Seat Fleet – with a host of award-winning cars and an environment where there’s real ambition to grow the business. It is an unmissable opportunity.

“Having worked alongside Seat for years as part of the Volkswagen Group, I’ve been able to see first-hand the strides the fleet team has made, and it’s exciting to now be playing a role in continuing that well-earned success.”

Seat UK’s head of fleet and business sales Peter McDonald said: “With Lindsay’s considerable experience in the automotive industry – with the Volkswagen Group in particular – and her intimate knowledge of the SEAT brand, we’re delighted to bring her aboard.

“Our success has come as a result of many things, but chief among those is our dedication to customer service, and a deep understanding of customers’ needs; Lindsay’s track-record at both means she’s a great match.”
