Steve Jackson (pictured) has been appointed as chief car editor at data provider Glass's.

He will be responsible for all car valuations and forecasts for the new and used markets - including the industry-standard Glass's Guide to Car Values.

Steve has worked in the automotive sector in fleet, retail, vehicle financial services and vehicle remarketing at both UK and international level.

He was previously general manager of direct channel remarketing for Leaseplan UK, managing its OEM vehicle repatriation programme including auction and online relationships as well as looking after their driver sales and B2C initiatives.

Prior to this, Steve spent six years in the Middle East, the first two setting up a fleet and remarketing programme across the Gulf Cooperation Council area and the final four with Manheim International establishing a new remarketing business.

At Glass's, he will work closely with the company's customer service and sales teams as well as managing manufacturer, OEM, dealer group and auction relationships from a data and market perspective.
