The UK’s largest van rental company, Northgate Vehicle Hire, has appointed Adam Naylor its UK head of sales, effective immediately. Naylor is now responsible for all UK sales channels, and moves up from his position as head of sales south.

Northgate says it has seen a period of sustained growth supporting the electrification of clients' fleets and their fleet support infrastructure requirements, along with a variety of turnkey fleet solutions for both corporate and SME customers.

“We have been in the front line of keeping companies, vehicles, and drivers on the road during the pandemic which has been a very exciting and demanding challenge," Naylor said. "We are now providing a range of value-added mobility solutions (in addition to LCV hire) to a wide spectrum of industries and sectors, supporting our customers as they grow and develop. I look forward to leading the sales team in this next round of Northgate’s growth.”

Northgate offers a range of flexible and minimum term hire and maintenance contracts for light commercial vehicle customers, with operations in the UK, Ireland, and Spain.
