Two new appointments have been made by Fleet Support Group as the independent fleet management company looks to further expand.

John Deane, who has rejoined the Chippenham-based company as business development manager, and Malcolm Wynd, who becomes the company’s vehicle funding consultant, have almost 45 years leasing and fleet management expertise between them.

Deane spent nine years to 2001 as a sales executive at FSG, which now has more than 50,000 cars, vans and trucks under fleet management. He subsequently joined Kenning Leaseline (the forerunner to Inchcape Fleet Solutions) before moving to Lombard Vehicle Management in 2003 and two years ago switching to Lombard Asset Finance.

Wynd, who last year became a director of Birmingham-based Charter House Media Ltd, has 25 years’ experience in the UK vehicle contract hire and leasing industry including spells at BRS Car Lease, GE Capital and LeasePlan.
