Ron Santiago, who has been MD of UK and Ireland since the end of 2020 has been appointed as Managing Director of Europcar Mobility Group Iberia covering operations in both Spain and Portugal.
Ron Santiago has done a tremendous job steering the UK operations through the effects of the pandemic as well as putting the business in an exceptionally strong position to support businesses and individuals as they aim to reduce their impact on the environment.
Considerable innovation has taken place in the UK in the last three years to give private motorists and employers access to mobility solutions that are fit for purpose and sustainable. I look forward to working with colleagues and clients to ensure that we remain the first choice for everyone’s mobility needs.
