SAM HARKNESS is the new Managing Director of Hertfordshire-based Greenfleets Vehicle Leasing.
Previously the Sales Director, Sam takes on directing the business leasing specialist following the retirement of founder Stephen Greenstreet.
Sam, along with fellow directors Paul Driscoll (Sales) and Robin Hill (Finance), are now managing the business day to day and will increase their shareholdings of the business over a structured period as the business transitions following Stephen Greenstreet’s retirement.
“Stephen has created a fantastic business and leaves behind a strong legacy that we are proud to continue. As we transition into this new ownership structure, our focus remains on delivering the same high levels of service and expertise that Greenfleets is known for. I am excited to lead the business alongside Paul and Rob as we continue to grow and develop the company for the future."
Greenfleets has been the most successful brokerage in its category, winning the Best Small Broker title for three successive years.
In addition, Stephen Greenstreet was recognised for his contributions to the leasing industry with a Special Commendation from Editor Ralph Morton at the Broker News Awards 2026.
Harkness said Greenfleets would continue to focus its efforts on the business sector along with its local charitable work.
