LeasePlan UK has announced the appointment of Attila Dobos as operations director, having spent the last two and a half years working in the same role for LeasePlan Sweden.

Prior to this, he held a similar role in his native Hungary for five years.

As part of the management team at LeasePlan UK, he will be responsible for overseeing the next phase of strategic development of the operations and supplier management area, and helping the company strengthen its customer value proposition in the fast-changing vehicle leasing market.

Dobos said: “I’m extremely excited to begin the next chapter of my career in LeasePlan, this time in the UK. LeasePlan is and will continue be a reliable partner in the market.

“In recent years the British market has gone through a period of profound change and rapid development which is a perfect opportunity for us to be even more attractive to our suppliers, working with them to enhance our customer proposition whilst increasing our steerable volumes to them.

“I look forward to applying my knowledge and European experience in my new role. Obtaining more ownership on the whole value chain will help LeasePlan UK to create the best customer experience at a competitive cost level.”

Alfonso Martinez, managing director of LeasePlan UK, welcomed Dobos to the UK team. “Attila has an exceptional track record here at LeasePlan,” he said, “and his long-standing commitment and experience makes him well placed to ensure the continued development and progress of the operations department within LeasePlan UK.”
