Seat appoints new head of fleet
Seat has appointed Steve Robertson to the new role of head of fleet and business sales following the departure of Nick Andrews to Mercedes-Benz.
Robertson, who has worked in the motor industry for 30 years with dealer and fleet experience, has been head of marketing at Seat since 2006.
“I'm very pleased to be making this move across to Seat UK's successful fleet and business operation,” he said.
Seat UK managing director Peter Wyhinny said: “This is a fabulous gain for Seat fleet. Steve will bring his extensive motor industry experience to bear on this important part of Seat UK's business, and I have every confidence that he will lead the growing fleet team to significantly bigger and better things over the coming months and years.”
Meanwhile, ex-Seat UK head of operations Richard Harrison has been appointed as group sales director for Seat SA with responsibility for Germany, the UK, France, Italy and Portugal.
Harrison spent four years heading up Seat UK's operations team during which time he oversaw the network grow and sales increase.
A separate announcement concerning his successor and the new Seat UK head of marketing will be made in the near future.
Wyhinny said: “This is a great opportunity for Richard, and I'm very pleased that his talents have been recognised by our colleagues at Seat SA headquarters in Martorell.
