Arval strengthens its sales division

To support its growth strategy, Arval has strengthened its corporate sales division by introducing two new recruits into head of sales roles.

Chris Salmon (pictured) joins as head of corporate sales from Leasedrive where, as UK sales manager, he led their corporate sales team for the last three years.

Prior to that, Salmon spent seven years at Inchcape Fleet Solutions. During this time, he built a great deal of experience, developed a strong network and delivered a number of impressive business wins.

Arnaud Bosvieux re-joins Arval in the UK from BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions where he held the position of head of vendor partnerships.

Having been part of the Group for 19 years, Bosvieux becomes head of the large corporate sales team bringing a wealth of large corporate and sales leadership experience having previously worked for Arval in the UK, France, Spain and China.

These new recruits will report into Andy Fuller; Arval’s newly appointed corporate sales director. Fuller has been with Arval for 10 years, building a strong reputation in a number of senior management roles within the sales division. He replaces Mike Curtis who is taking on an exciting new challenge as general manager of Arval’s subsidiary in India.

Fuller said: “It is an exciting time to lead the Arval corporate sales division. We are a growing business thanks to the introduction of our new IT platform and a range of innovative products underpinned by the excellent levels of customer service delivered by our account teams.

“Arnaud and Chris bring with them a wealth of experience and expertise which undoubtedly strengthens our sales division. I look forward to the challenge of building upon our recent success alongside these talented new recruits.”
