Harrison will leverage his 16 years’ experience at ALD to support expansion plans at Fleet Procure. The fintech software solutions provider works with brokers, dealers, finance companies and OEMs to increase efficiency and accuracy and simplify vehicle procurement and order management.

In his new role, Harrison will focus on OEM and leasing company relationships to utilise Fleet Procure’s core vehicle procurement and ordering platform, agency ordering and the new Stock Manager module for managing tactical stock.

He commented: “It’s a big move for me after spending such a significant part of my career with ALD. But it’s such a great opportunity to engage the leasing companies and OEMs in the benefits of the Fleet Procure platform, particularly as we move towards more agency deals.”

Lee Jones, managing director at Fleet Procure, added: “Rory joins us at a remarkable time for our business as we enter an exciting phase of our growth plans. Our next step is to branch out from our current leasing broker and dealer offering to work directly with car makers and leasing companies.

“Rory is very experienced and well-regarded. He will be heading up this new direction and introducing our new products to these automotive sectors.”

The expanding business continues to sign up leasing brokers every month, with 80 on the books and an ambition to attract 100 leasing brokers to the platform by the end of the year

“We are definitely looking forward to a successful future at Fleet Procure,” finished Jones.
