New appointment at ARI as firm looks to grow fleet funding offering

ARI has appointed Rory Mackinnon as head of its asset funding programme as it looks to grow share in the vehicle acquisition and funding market.

Mackinnon’s appointment supports the continued growth of ARI’s funding model.

Mackinnon will be tasked with helping customers identify potential efficiencies across their portfolio, which will include ARI’s own finance lease product and multi-bid contract hire.

Jason Chamberlain, ARI’s sales and marketing director said: “I’m delighted to welcome Rory to the team and his appointment follows his proven track record in providing a range of funding solutions to corporate customers. Rory’s in-depth industry knowledge and ability to build long-term partnerships which deliver real financial value will be of huge benefit to ARI’s new and existing customers.”

Mackinnon commented: “With the impact of IFRS 16 taking leases onto the balance sheet, now is the time for clients to look at their fleet procurement and funding model and ask whether their current arrangement is fit for purpose. I feel very privileged to join a business with the global presence and reputation of ARI and I look forward to helping new and existing customers reach the best option for their business from the full suite of funding products available.”
