The leasing and mobility solutions firm launched in January 2017, combining the former Citroën Contract Motoring and Peugeot Contract Hire businesses, and the new role sees Pickles taken on responsibility for all Free2Move Lease UK sales and marketing activities, with a brief to expand business both through multi-marque business wins, and from within the PSA group of brands.

He joins from parent company PSA Group, where he has worked for 18 years, including his most recent role as marketing director for Peugeot UK, and reports to managing director Duncan Chumley.

Chumley commented: “Mark and I share a vision of the growth potential for Free2Move Lease, having worked together closely in the last 18 months to develop Peugeot business sales. His marketing expertise, combined with an impressive CV in most areas of the OEM business, means he is well equipped to continue the growth we have already seen since launch.”
