With more than 20 years’ experience in the automotive sector, Tim has specialised in retail sales and finance having worked with a number of prestigious main dealer franchises. This new role will see him transfer his expertise to the commercial vehicle sector.

Tim said: “I will be working in partnership with both small and large businesses with my area covering Nottingham and extending out to Newark and Lincoln. My aim is to understand their specific needs and assist where I can to improve their fleet operations, ultimately reducing downtime and increasing their profitability.”

“Imperial Commercials is a leading name in the commercial vehicle sector so I am delighted to be part of their team. As with any new position it will be a challenge but it’s one that I relish!”

David Starr, head of business for Volkswagen Van Centre Nottingham, added: “Previously Tim’s role was covered by our Derby business but, to meet customer demand, a more dedicated role was required. It is great to have him as part of the sales team.”

The business development manager role will provide companies which operate a fleet of vans with a single point of contact for everything they need to manage an efficient operation - whether it be new, used or rental Volkswagen vans through to finance packages or a telematics service to help manage fuel costs and increase vehicle efficiency.
