Holman has made several senior appointments as it continues to expand its business.
Paul Probert joins the company as Operations Director, bringing with him extensive experience in the distribution and logistics sectors, most recently with Ryder.
Also joining the operations team are Dominic Hutchinson as Head of Operations based at Holman’s Chippenham headquarters, Iain Palmer as Head of Operations based in the company’s new Birmingham office, and Gemma Towers as Operations Manager.
The appointments come as Holman continues to win new business through multiple contract wins, including the recently awarded BT Group contract which will see Holman provide a raft of fleet services to BT Group – the initial seven-year deal will see it providing service, maintenance, and repair, portfolio management, glass replacement, and pool vehicle/rental management to the fleet of around 37,000 commercial vehicles.
Nick Caller, Holman UK Managing Director, said: “During this transformative period for our business, these appointments serve as a clear demonstration of our unwavering dedication to our customers.
“I have full confidence that as we attract even more new customers, their contributions will have a significant impact, guaranteeing the consistent delivery of excellent customer service to all of our clients, regardless of the number of vehicles they operate.”
Paul Probert added: “Holman is a company with a great reputation for doing the right thing. I am excited about leading the operations team and to create a step change in the capability of operational execution.”
Dominic joins from Novuna, where he was Fleet Services Manager. He added: “Holman is a growing business and has picked up some great new customers. I am looking forward to playing my part in this exciting journey and working with the talented teams we have here at Holman.”
Iain brings 15 years of experience from his time at Ryder, where he held various roles, including Central Operations Manager. He said: “I’m looking forward to establishing this new operation on behalf of BT, transforming the service delivery to provide industry-leading standards and ultimately benefiting Holman’s other customers as well.”
Gemma joins Holman from Zenith Vehicle Contracts, where she served as the Customer Service Manager – Driver Management. She added: “It’s exciting to join Holman during this pivotal time, participating in the establishment of the new Birmingham office, recruiting an entire department, implementing new processes and suppliers, and ensuring the success of the BT contract.”
