HERTZ Leasing UK's sales and marketing director Henry Hopkins has left the company to pursue his own business venture.

Hopkins, who joined Hertz Leasing in 1995 from Lex Vehicle Leasing, is continuing to work for Hertz Leasing on a consultancy basis for sometime to come but is planning to establish his own business communications company. Hopkins has been in the fleet industry for three years and prior to that spent 13 years in the communications business. No formal decision has been taken by Hertz Leasing on a replacement for Hopkins.
