CONGRATULATIONS to Faye Swales who has been appointed Commercial Manager South of online broker/dealer procurement platform Fleet Procure, effective 20 January, 2025.
Faye Swales joins Fleet Procure from ALD Automotive where she was Broker Partner Account Manager for the last two years. Prior to that Faye worked for Mercedes-Benz Sytner and RB Associates.
It is the second significant appointment at Fleet Procure within two months following the appointment of Molly Kelly as Commercial Manager North.

“The number of broker partners using Fleet Procure is rapidly expanding. So to support this growth we’ve needed to increase the team to service this growing client base. I’m delighted to have Faye join the team who has come highly recommended by the brokers she works with and is another high calibre appointment as our reputation grows within the leasing industry.”
