CHARLOTTE Pradana Mudiyanselage – more commonly known by her maiden name of Charlie Bates – has been appointed commercial manager north at Fleet Procure.
Charlie joins the procurement and stock management platform with a remit to nurture and engage OEMs and leasecos while also providing support to the northern-based leasing brokers.
Charlie joins Fleet Procure after 13 years with the Vindis Group as broker manager.
Commenting on LinkedIn, Charlie said she was extremely grateful to Vindis for “allowing me the opportunity I was given all those years ago” but added that she was “so excited” for the next chapter in her career.
Charlie joins Rory Harrison who becomes commercial manager south for Fleet Procure.
“We are excited to welcome someone with Charlie’s vast experience as we continue to grow at breakneck speed. There are a number of major partnerships we are close to announcing which will see further recruitment this year.”
The company held its well-attended awards bash in west London recently where it announced that it would be holding Fleet Procure Live! at Millbrook on 15-16 May (pictured above), specifically designed for leasing brokers to try the latest cars and meet OEMs.
