Gofor has a new managing director

IT’S all change at the top for Edinburgh-based leasing broker Gofor.

So, let’s welcome a new face to the leasing broker sector – Iain Bennett.

Iain has been appointed managing director of the Edinburgh-based fleet management and business contract hire specialist.

Iain succeeds current managing director and company founder Graham Lesslie, who now moves to a new chief executive officer role at the company.

So what’s behind Iain’s appointment?

Gofor says Iain was chosen because of his skills as a highly experienced leader with significant expertise in the technology space, as well as a track record in accelerating business growth. His background includes senior roles for technology businesses, including almost a decade in senior roles at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. The appointment aligns to Gofor’s focus on digital transformation which includes recent investment in a driver portal platform for salary sacrifice to ensure optimal customer experience.

Meanwhile, Graham Lesslie, who moves to a new CEO role, will maintain responsibility for the ongoing success of Gofor, leading the company’s vision for growth, further developing the crucial funder and partner relationships and providing direction on a number of key projects. Iain will lead the running of the day-to-day business operations.
