RENAULT national fleet sales manager Mark Smith has been promoted to the role of commercial operations manager for the Renault Retail Group. The group, headed by David Addy, is a subsidiary of Renault UK and consists of 17 showroom sites around the UK and was recently boosted with the addition of Autoworld in Wolverhampton which is an all-marque used car centre - the first solus used car site in the Group.

During Smith's time as fleet sales manager, Renault's fleet penetration increased from 3.7% in January 1994 to the current 7.8%. A successor to Smith has yet to be announced.
