RENAULT has appointed Peter Horton as its new head of fleet and used vehicles, effective immediately.
Peter takes over from Mark Hawkins, appointed head of fleet in April 2021, who has decided to leave the business.
Formerly Renault’s national corporate sales manager, Peter will now oversee the brand’s entire fleet sales division and also be responsible for remarketing and residual value management. He has been with Renault for a total of 11 years and has more than 20 years’ fleet industry experience.
The fleet industry is experiencing an unprecedented and significant shift in the channel mix, all of which has been driven by changing global conditions. With a fantastic team and an excellent product portfolio that seeks to combine customers’ requirements in terms of electrification, connectivity and availability, we are in a strong position to help fleets with all their future mobility needs.

Guillaume Sicard, country head UK & managing director, Renault UK, added:
I am delighted to see Peter take a very well-deserved step up to his new role. He is a huge asset to the business and is very highly respected within Renault UK and the industry. His extensive experience will prove invaluable as we enter the next stage of our ‘Renaulution’ strategy, which will see us ramp up our electrification plans and significantly enhance our zero-emissions-in-use offering to business users.
