With over 25 years’ experience in contract hire and vehicle management, Kerr was previously the director of asset finance at Lombard North Central Plc. 

In his new role at Volkswagen Group Leasing, part of Volkswagen Financial Services (UK) Limited, he will be particularly focusing on developing the firm’s 100+ fleet market and will also be helping to lead Volkswagen Group Leasing’s expansion into the international market.

Corporate solutions director Martin Ballard commented: ‘This is a real coup for Volkswagen Group Leasing to recruit a very successful and determined head of sales, who has extensive knowledge of the market. Nigel brings with him a wealth of experience that will support our drive to become the number one leasing company in the UK, as well as sustain our continued commitment to provide our customers with the best leasing and vehicle management offerings on the market.’
