Former Fiat Group UK fleet and remarketing director Adam Pumfrey has launched a new company offering maintenance, refurbishment and remarketing services to the fleet industry.

Freedom Automotive has been set up with two partners, former Camden board member Steve Mennell and refurbishment expert Pete Nunn.

The business is targeting manufacturers, daily rental, corporate fleets and leasing companies.

They can buy individual modules or sign up for a total life cycle management service.

It operates from two refurbishment/PDI centres - Middlewich near Manchester and Bottesford near Newark in Lincolnshire - and is in talks to acquire a site in Scotland and one in the south-east.
