RETAIL director, Todd Williams, is to take a new role within Arval UK as head of commercial – flex, which will focus on increasing the penetration of flexible leasing across the UK.
Mike Curtis, currently corporate sales director of Arval UK, will lead the retail team in addition to his current responsibilities until a successor is found.
The change follows Todd taking some time away from the business for family reasons. In the newly created role, he will take the lead in supporting the commercial teams in Arval UK to continue the growth of its flexible leasing business.
I am delighted that Todd has accepted this new challenge to work with our sales teams to accelerate the growth of our flexible leasing offer for customers. His background in a number of roles in Arval, most recently when leading our retail business across several years of successive growth, will be very helpful to deliver our objectives in the coming years.
I would like to thank him for his successful period leading retail and wish him every success in his new position. We are now starting the search for his replacement as retail director.
Continuity will remain within the retail division where Scott Glover will continue to act as head of broker and Bertie Styles as head of OEM and dealer partnerships. Glynn Hopkins will continue as fleet manager for the Arval Flex product.
Arval said the role for retail director would be advertised internally and externally through the Arval BNP Paribas Group LinkedIn profile.
Arval was voted Funder of the Year in the Broker News Awards 2023, as much a reflection of Todd’s popularity as the quality of the Arval service provided to leasing brokers.
