Carmmunity, a leading provider of vehicle procurement solutions for brokers, today announced the promotion of Hamel Patel to Managing Director.
Patel, who has served as the company’s Sales and Marketing Director for the past six years, brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success to his new role.
Patel takes over from Deborah Viitanen, who has led the company through a period of significant growth and transformation. During his tenure as Sales and Marketing Director, Patel played a key role in developing Carmmunity+, an innovative platform designed to streamline procurement processes for brokers. The platform is set to launch soon under the leadership of incoming Sales Director, Dave McLaughlin.
"I am honoured to have the opportunity to lead Carmmunity into its next chapter. I am confident that, together with our talented team, we can build on our strong foundation and continue to deliver exceptional value to our broker partners."
