STAFFORDSHIRE broker Leasing Gorilla has appointed two new business development managers to meet increasing levels of business demand.
Charlie Beresford brings his wealth of dealer experience to Leasing Gorilla, joining from West Way Nissan where he was responsible for LCV business development at a national fleet level.
Meanwhile, Lindsey Blakemore adds extensive leasing broker experience having previously worked for Freedom Vehicle Contracts as a sales administrator.
The personal leasing brand of CBVC Vehicle Management said it was also looking to recruit additional administration staff to support the rapidly growing business team.
Chris Jennings, director of Leasing Gorilla, commenting on the appointments, said:
“We are very pleased to welcome Charlie and Lindsey to the team, both of whom bring different skill sets to the business, which will undoubtedly help as our business continues to grow.
While we saw customers holding back or cancelling orders during March when COVID-19 lockdown started, since then both June and July have been record months and August is set to continue this trend. I think what we are seeing is 12 months’ business compressed into nine.
