CONGRATULATIONS to Andy Harper who has been appointed Head of Sales and Procurement at commercial vehicle leasing specialist Vansdirect.
Andy Harper, an automotive executive with more than 20 years’ experience, joins from Euro Commercials Mercedes-Benz where he was Group Van Sales Manager.
After a very short time in my new position, I have realised that the culture and values of the business align with my own and the professionalism and respect demonstrated is first-class. I believe that I can add value, through building relationships with customers but also through mentoring colleagues and leading the team to achieve greater levels of success.
The Managing Director of Vansdirect, Sam Ward, added: “Andy is the perfect addition to our team at Vansdirect.
“I took the decision to amalgamate the roles of Head of Sales and Head of Procurement to streamline the processes. Andy will work closely with each department and his experience, knowledge and expertise will be invaluable in developing his colleagues. I welcome him to Vansdirect and am excited about the future.”
The commercial vehicle leasing specialist Vansdirect was founded in 1999 in Newport and has since become one of the top independent commercial van retailers in the UK. It was acquired by Vertu Motors plc in January 2019.
