Leasys UK has appointed Shane Coomber as managing director, having previously worked as the firm’s marketing director.

Her appointment, which is effective from February 1, comes as she marks 30 years working within the Stellantis Group.

Coomber’s career began in operational roles, before progressing into management in underwriting, dealer services areas, and leadership of the UK retailer customer services team. 

She served as Free2Move UK’s operations director and commercial director, before her role as marketing director of Leasys UK from April 2023.

She replaces Matthew Boswell, who has served as MD of Leasys UK since April 2023, following its consolidation with Free2Move Lease.

She said: “I’m honoured to take up the role of managing director at Leasys UK during this incredibly exciting time. 

“Leasys UK is not just at the forefront of operational leasing, but a key partner in helping our customers navigate transitions around fleet electrification and modernisation. 

“It will be a privilege to lead the team, who have built a well-earned reputation for operational excellence and responsiveness to customer needs and established Leasys UK as a trusted, reliable provider to commercial fleets across the country.”

Sebastiano Fedrigo, head of G3 markets and business development (UK, Germany & Portugal) at Leasys, added: “Over the last year, Leasys UK has continued to go from strength to strength, and our thanks go to Matthew for his vital role in these successes.

“Shane is stepping into the role of managing director as Leasys UK continues to build momentum as the country’s preeminent operational leasing provider. 

“She brings unparalleled experience and knowledge to the position, and is perfectly placed to lead the brand for its next growth phase.”
