International automotive specialist firm Holman has appointed Nimesh Chauhan to oversee its recently won deal with BT Group, one of the country’s largest and highest-profile fleet contracts.
As customer success director, Nimesh, pictured, will lead all aspects of the account, using the expertise he has gained from nearly two decades’ experience in the automotive sector.
Since joining Holman, which has its UK headquarters in Chippenham, in 2017 he has worked in a number of leadership roles, showcasing exceptional versatility and skill.
Last year he became director, service delivery to spearhead operational excellence and oversee Holman’s entire UK portfolio of customers.
Under the initial seven-year agreement with BT, Holman will provide a range of fleet services spanning service, maintenance and repair, portfolio management, glass replacement, and pool vehicle/rental management for around 37,000 commercial vehicles.
Nimesh said: “This contract will set the standard for fleet management in the UK, and my team and I can’t wait to get started.”
To support the BT operation, as well as an increasing number of new contract wins, Holman is expanding its satellite operations into Birmingham with a new facility and new roles, from leadership to trainee positions.
Holman UK managing director Nick Caller said: “Nimesh has consistently proved to be an inspirational leader, and his experience and expertise in all elements of fleet operation positions him perfectly for this new role.”
US-owned Holman provides a range of services to the automotive industry including vehicle funding and fleet management.
Having started out as a single Ford dealership in New Jersey in 1924, it has since grown into a global leader in automotive services with more than 6,500 employees across North America, the UK and Germany.
