Speaking on his appointment, he said: “We must
continue to lobby the government and its motoring agencies to
reduce the amount of bureaucracy associated with owning and
operating fleets.

relationships with manufacturers. There have been some tensions in
recent times, but we can work through these and develop a
longer-term, proactive relationship between our two
industries.”
