CONGRATULATIONS to John Peters has taken on the role of Head of Consultancy at Arval UK. In this position, Peters will oversee all of the company’s fleet and mobility consulting services for its UK customer base.
Additionally, Peters will take the lead on the UK side of the Arval Mobility Observatory, a global survey that helps fleet operators understand current and future trends. Peters has been with the company since 2002, starting at GE Capital Fleet Services before its acquisition by Arval in 2015. He has held a number of significant positions, most recently serving as Strategic Marketing Leader with a focus on mobility solutions.
In his new role, Peters will manage a team of six specialised fleet and mobility consultants who offer advice and guidance to Arval’s clients. The team works directly with individual companies and develops resources for wider use.
Peters acknowledged the increasing complexity and challenges facing fleet managers and highlighted the consultancy team’s role in helping clients navigate these issues. He emphasised the team’s extensive expertise in supporting clients’ business objectives by creating future-proof fleet and mobility solutions that address both traditional needs and the opportunities created by new technologies.
Peters also highlighted the advantage of Arval’s international expertise, allowing the UK team to draw on initiatives from other countries to offer innovative solutions.
“Moving forward, I want to ensure our consultancy team is equipped to help with emerging issues whether in the worlds of sustainable fleet operations, micro-mobility, electrification infrastructure or a whole range of new technologies currently under development. It’s a challenging but exciting moment in our industry.”
Peters succeeds Shaun Sadlier, who retired in June after over two decades at Arval.
Lakshmi Moorthy, Managing Director at Arval UK, added:
“We are very pleased to be able to name John as our new Head of Consultancy. He has huge experience both within Arval and the wider fleet sector and is the right person to lead this important function within our company.
“We’d also like to put on record our thanks to Shaun, who made a strong contribution to Arval over many years. We’d like to wish him a fulfilling and happy retirement.”
