Craig Cavanagh appointed Seat UK head of fleet

Seat UK has named Craig Cavanagh as its new head of fleet, replacing Peter McDonald who left the business in August.

Cavanagh, who has spent 22 years with the Volkswagen Group, will take over the reins for the fleet team in January 2020, moving across from his current position as sales operations manager.

Seat UK managing director, Richard Harrison, said: “Craig is an experienced and trusted member of the Seat leadership team, and I am delighted to see him progress his career by moving across to lead our fantastic fleet team. 

“We have an exciting year ahead for our fleet customers and partners, as we add five new models, electrify the brand, and continue to build upon our high level of service to fleet customers, through great initiatives such as the four-day test drive programme.”

Seat UK’s true fleet sales have increased 7% year-to-date, despite a market decline of 2%.
