CONGRATULATIONS to John Peters who has been named as the new Head of Consultancy at Arval UK.
In his new role, John will lead all the company’s fleet and mobility consulting activities across its UK customer base.
As part of the role, he will also act as UK lead for the Arval Mobility Observatory, the worldwide survey of fleet operators designed to create understanding of current and future trends.
John replaces Shaun Sadlier, who retired in June after more than 20 years of working at Arval.
John joined GE Capital Fleet Services in 2002 and, following the company’s acquisition by Arval in 2015, has held a number of key roles, most recently being Strategic Marketing Leader focusing on mobility solutions.
As Head of Consultancy, he will head up a team of six specialist fleet and mobility consultants who guide and advise Arval’s clients on a range of issues, working both on a direct one-to-one basis with specific companies, and producing new advice and tools for wider use.
John said:
“In recent years, those managing fleets have had to handle an increasing range of responsibilities and challenges, and have often had less time to spend on resolving them. As consultants, our task is to help clients make sense of this ever-increasing complexity in the fleet sector and guide them towards successful solutions.
“At a UK level, we have huge expertise in supporting clients through their business objectives, creating future-proofed fleet and mobility solutions that answer traditional needs but also maximise the opportunities created by new products and technologies. We have an extensive track record of delivering for a very wide range of customers.
“Importantly, we can also look to Arval’s huge international expertise, and frequently draw on initiatives underway in other countries to offer new answers to fleet needs that might currently be outside the scope of UK operators. It’s an important advantage, especially when it comes to mobility, and a key part of the credibility that we enjoy in the market.
“Moving forward, I want to ensure our consultancy team is equipped to help with emerging issues whether in the worlds of sustainable fleet operations, micro-mobility, electrification infrastructure or a whole range of new technologies currently under development. It’s a challenging but exciting moment in our industry.”
Lakshmi Moorthy, Managing Director at Arval UK, said:
“We are very pleased to be able to name John as our new Head of Consultancy. He has huge experience both within Arval and the wider fleet sector and is the right person to lead this important function within our company.
“We’d also like to put on record our thanks to Shaun, who made a strong contribution to Arval over many years. We’d like to wish him a fulfilling and happy retirement.”
