Free2Move Lease has appointed Shane Coomber as commercial director, replacing Mark Pickles who was appointed general manager in December 2018.

Coomber steps up from the role of operations director, which she has fulfilled since December 2016, prior to the launch of Free2Move Lease UK in January 2017.

She said: “I am delighted to be taking up this new challenge at an exciting time in the development of Free2Move Lease.

"As we glimpse the future, it’s clear that mobility requirements are expanding beyond the traditional role of vehicle leasing companies and our suite of connected leasing products has put us in an excellent position for future developments.”

Pickles said: “Shane has been a key member of the senior Free2Move Lease management team since launch just over two years ago and her appointment as commercial director is a natural progression, as we develop the Free2Move Lease product portfolio further.

“Shane’s experience and depth of knowledge of the leasing and finance sector is a huge asset to the company and I am delighted that we shall be working together to shape the company’s future.”

Coomber joined PSA Finance as deputy new business manager in 2000 and has progressed through a number of senior sales, training and customer service roles to her latest appointment.
