GE Capital Fleet Services has strengthened its light commercial vehicle leasing operation with two appointments.

Simon Cook, who has been in the commercial vehicle industry for more than 25 years, has been named as LCV leader.

Most recently, Simon headed up the sales and operations team at TLS Vehicle Rental.

Eddie Parker has been appointed as LCV Consultant and has a similarly impressive track record.

He has worked in sales, operations and consultancy for both manufacturers and leasing companies in the UK and Europe, with his most recent position being at Masterlease.

The appointments are part of a strategy to further drive van leasing customer focus at GE Capital Fleet Services in the UK.

Worldwide, GE leases more than 200,000 vans and has several thousand on its fleet in the UK.
