CONGRATULATIONS to Andy Harper who has been appointed head of sales and procurement at Vansdirect.
The experienced automotive executive joins the Newport-based leasing broker from Euro Commercials Mercedes-Benz where he was group van sales manager.
The opportunity to join a top-performing business with a great reputation was too good to ignore. After a very short time in my new position, I have realised that the culture and values of the business align with my own and the professionalism and respect demonstrated is first-class.
Andy added that he believed he could add value by building relationships with customers but also through mentoring colleagues and leading the team to greater achievements.
Sam Ward, managing director of Vertu Motors’ owned Vansdirect, said: “Andy is the perfect addition to our team at Vansdirect.
“I took the decision to amalgamate the roles of head of sales and head of procurement to streamline the processes. Andy will work closely with each department and his experience, knowledge and expertise will be invaluable in developing his colleagues. I welcome him to Vansdirect and am excited about the future.”
Vansdirect is a shortlisted finalist in the Broker News Awards 2023.
