Toyota (GB), which is responsible for sales, marketing, and customer relations for Toyota and Lexus in the UK, has assigned new roles to two senior managers to bolster fleet operations.

As part of the reshuffle, Ferma has been appointed as director of operational excellence at Kinto UK, which manages and operates Toyota’s car subscription service.

Ferma, earlier, served as the general manager at Toyota and Lexus Fleet Services.

Ferma said: “During my time in the fleet team we have grown sales and market share and moved fleet into the mainstream of our business. The support we were given has been fantastic and a testament to how we work together to achieve success. I am excited to be taking up this new opportunity with Kinto.”

Neil Broad has been named as the general manager of One Toyota Fleet Services.

He will be responsible for expanding the company’s fleet services to include financing and management and mobility services, integrating the work of Toyota Financial Services (TFS), Toyota Insurance Services (TIS) and Kinto.
