CONGRATULATIONS to Kit Wisdom who steps into the hot seat at salary sacrifice provider Tusker, now part of Lex Autolease.
Previously Tusker’s chief operating officer for the last six years, Kit is a highly experienced automotive professional.
He joined Tusker after seven years with leasing and broker funder Alphabet. Prior to that Kit was with rental firm Enterprise.
“My time at Tusker has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of the business, its strengths, customers and importantly, the talented team it employs. Driven by our purpose to help the UK drive a better car, I look forward to steering and leading Tusker’s next phase of growth in the coming years.”

Former CEO of Tusker, Paul Gilshan, will now take a place on the board of Tusker PLC in the position of non-executive director.
Gilshan joined the company in 2016, becoming CEO in 2018, where his many achievements included growing the fleet size to 40,000 with a large proportion of EVs and is on track to achieve its net zero target ahead of time. Gilshan also oversaw the successful sale of the business to Lloyds Banking Group in 2023.
Nick Williams, CEO of Lloyds Banking Group Transport which embraces the Tusker and Lex Autolease divisions, added:
“As we reach our first full year of Tusker being part of Lloyds Banking Group, it is brilliant to see how much we have achieved together in such a short amount of time. I am delighted and welcome Kit into his new role as Tusker’s managing director and wish Paul Gilsham all the very best in his non-exec role.
“I look forward to the next phase of our journey and have no doubt Tusker will continue to lead the way in keeping Britain moving towards a more sustainable future.”
