MANY CONGRATULATIONS to Jack Dixon who was recently promoted to National Contract Hire and Leasing Manager for BYD in the UK.
Jack moves up from his previous role as Broker Manager which he has held for the last year.
Commenting on LinkedIn, Jack said: “I’m incredibly excited to be working more closely with our funder partners and continuing to build strong, collaborative relationships as we support BYD’s growth in the market. A big thank you to Claudio De Freitas for the trust and opportunity – I’m looking forward to what’s ahead and to making a real impact in this next chapter.”
Jack is currently demonstrating the new mid-size SUV plug-in hybrid Sealion 5 DM-i, most recently to leasing brokers at its Telford launch.
The move by Jack to National Contract Hire and Leasing Manager follows the promotion of Claudio De Freitas to Head of Fleet Sales.
The upward appointments trajectory follows a terrific year of sales, with BYD selling 51,422 vehicles to take a 2.54% market share, up from 0.45% in 2024. Last year BYD was also the Headline Partner of the Broker News Awards 2025.
