Mercedes-Benz head of fleet Rob East (pictured) has left the car manufacturer after deciding to step down from the role.

East had worked for the company – which was named best fleet manufacturer in the 2018 Fleet News Awards - since 2009 in a number of areas, including Smart and the Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy before moving into fleet.

Immediately before taking over as head of fleet in July 2016, he worked as national fleet manager where he led a team of strategic account managers and achieved record-breaking fleet sales in 2015.

No announcement has yet been made regarding his successor.
