Roger Grainger has taken over the reins as national fleet sales manager for Audi UK this week, replacing Nick Andrews who has taken up a new position within the Volkswagen Group.

Grainger, 43, will be able to draw on experience gained in the daily rental industry with Avis, where he held the position of sales director for three years, and with express and logistics specialist DHL, where he was assigned to a variety of key sales functions within several of the company’s international divisions during his 13 year tenure.

Reporting to head of Audi fleet sales Iain Carmichael, Grainger’s primary focus will be the support of Audi sales to end user customers as well as the continued development of the Audi Local Business Development programme to deliver both sales growth and improved customer satisfaction.
