Škoda UK welcomes a new addition to its fleet sales team this month, with the appointment of Luke Golder as fleet sales manager for the south and south east of England.

Golder’s appointment sees Škoda boost its team of fleet sales managers from seven to eight – a demonstration of the Czech manufacturer’s continued commitment to fleet sales.

Joining the Škoda UK team from Lombard Vehicle Management, Golder has three years’ experience of fleet management along with a further seven years’ sales experience, having previously worked in the retail department at Royal Bank of Scotland.

In 2011, Škoda UK celebrated a record year in the fleet sector achieving registrations of nearly 22,000, a 31% increase on the previous year, breaking through the 2% market share barrier for the first time.

Now commanding a 2.4% market share YTD, the team is better placed to deliver to an increasingly receptive fleet audience.

Skoda Auto

Skoda is targeting sales of up to 78,000 units in the next five years as it secures an ever-stronger order book backed by a growing range.

Its sales hit a new high in 2010 backed by an expanding dealer netowork and they are set to reach a new record in 2011 too.

This growth is balanced between fleet and retail sales and Skoda expects there to be a 45/55 fleet retail split as demand grows in future.

A key launch for 2012 will be the Skoda Citigo, based on the VW Up, which will mark Skoda's entry into the A-segment and a significant potential uplift in sales.Until now, Roomster and Fabia have been its smallest cars.
