Seat UK has promoted Justin Costello to the post of national fleet sales manager from his previous role of contract hire and leasing manager.

Costello (pictured) will be working alongside Peter McDonald, head of fleet and business sales to drive fleet volumes and will lead a team of seven area fleet managers and brings experience in sales, pricing and procurement across the Volkswagen Group, Manheim Group, ALD Automotive and Auxillis.

Costello said: “Seat is a brand I know very well and being part of it at such an exciting moment is both hugely rewarding and challenging.

"With the Leon still at the top of its game, the Ateca receiving acclaim from all quarters and the new generation Ibiza just around the corner, Seat is extremely well positioned to continue to grow with both our existing fleet partners and by attracting new customers to the brand.

“Alongside introducing our new models and continuing to drive buoyant business sales, I am also looking forward to helping the team provide excellent service and innovative expertise and support to our fleet customers across the UK.”
