CLM Fleet Management has appointed Dave Ackers as Broker Channel Business Development Manager (BDM) to support the adoption of its fixed-price maintenance portal for leasing brokers.
The online portal, which launched last year, offers leasing brokers the opportunity to add fixed-price maintenance cover to vehicle orders regardless of the vehicle funder, giving them an additional income stream.
It can be further enhanced by adding CLM’s accident management service and full breakdown cover.
Dave, who is an experienced automotive professional with more than 30 years’ experience in relationship management and new business development, will be providing in-depth training to leasing brokers who are looking to implement the portal.
He is also responsible for building relationships with the 30+ brokers who are already signed up to the portal and will be providing them with ongoing support.
Dave previously worked for finance providers such as Bank of Ireland, GE Capital and Swoop.
“I began my career in 1992 as a motor finance representative before transitioning into asset finance, where I supported equipment manufacturers and resellers. This also involved many years of working closely with national contract hire suppliers, so I understand the value that this maintenance portal could bring. I am excited about this next chapter of my career with CLM, a company that is passionate about offering great services.”
If you wish to meet him, Dave will be attending the Broker News Awards on 25 April 2024, along with CLM’s CEO John Lawrence and CCO Andy Short.
