Towers to lead Kwik-Fit Fleet sales team
Kwik-Fit Fleet has appointed Martin Towers to lead its 13-strong sales team. The new corporate and national sales director takes on responsibility for managing both sides of Kwik-Fit Fleet’s sales departments, namely corporate account managers, who handle relationships with contract hire and leasing companies, and area sales managers, who manage partnerships with outright purchase fleets.
“Over the years Kwik-Fit Fleet has been hugely successful in winning business from the major leasing companies and our very strong focus in that sector of the market will continue,” said Towers. “However, we are putting an added emphasis on relations with outright purchase fleets and look forward to taking our product offering to more of those organisations.”
Towers has spent a good part of the past two decades in the fleet industry and rejoined Kwik-Fit Fleet in 2008 as national sales manager. He initially joined the company in 1993 but left in 2000 to take up a position with Tyreserve, which later became AA Tyrefit, as sales director. Between 2003 and 2006 Towers worked for National Fleet, a division of National Tyres, as commercial director and then spent the next two years as general manager of fleet development at Stapletons.
“Kwik-Fit Fleet is entering an exciting new era under new ownership. Itochu is already very familiar with the UK automotive sector and has plans to invest in Kwik-Fit centres and to further enhance the delivery of excellent customer service,” commented Kwik-Fit Fleet sales director Peter Lambert. “Martin has huge experience of the UK fleet industry and his knowledge coupled with Itochu’s focus on quality, customer service and training will bring significant benefits to the corporate sector.”
