Skoda has expanded its fleet sales team with three new appointments.

Jonathan Harris, Tomas Tichy and Alan Barrowman have all joined Skoda as fleet sales managers.

The investment in the fleet sales team forms part of a wider growth strategy to build upon its 2.2% fleet market share.

In their new positions, Harris will have responsibility for the South West and South Wales regions, Tichy for East Anglia, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire and Barrowman will oversee Scotland and Northern England.

They will also join their fellow team members in implementing Skoda’s “Fit for Fleet” retailer initiative, which offers specialist training and marketing support to dealers to help deliver the brand’s products to fleet customers.

Martin Burke, head of fleet sales at Skoda UK, said: “I’d like to welcome Jonathan, Tomas and Alan to the fleet team – we’re delighted to have three new members on board and I’ve no doubt that their expertise will help us to build upon the record success of last year.

“By 2015, Skoda UK aims to deliver 78,000 registrations per year, with half of the overall sales volume coming from the fleet market. To help achieve this, we’re committed to investing in our staff to ensure we’re best placed to deliver a first-rate service to both our burgeoning fleet customer base and future prospects.”
