CHEVIN DRIVES EUROPEAN GROWTH WITH NEW SALES DIRECTOR

Global fleet management consultancy and software provider Chevin Fleet Solutions, has appointed Paul Verkinderen as Sales Director for Benelux, Germany and France. Verkinderen joins just weeks after the opening of Chevin's latest European office in Belgium.

Verkinderen will play an integral role in driving Chevin's European operations forward. His focus will be on promoting the company's core offering, which includes the web-based asset management application, FleetWave®, as well as the only fully asset-centric desktop-based enterprise system, RoadBASE®, to generate growth and establish long-term customer relationships in the region.

With over 20 years' experience in the automotive sector, Verkinderen has extensive knowledge of the fleet industry at an international level. Verkinderen joins Chevin from a fleet management company in Belgium, where he spearheaded the organisation's business development activities. Prior to this Verkinderen held senior management roles with high-profile names in the automotive industry, including the Beerens Group, International Fleet Services and J&T Autolease.

Ashley Sowerby, managing director of Chevin Fleet Solutions, says: "Our European office is fundamental in our global expansion plans and with Paul at the head, we are confident we can build upon the achievements we have already enjoyed in Europe, North America and Australia."

Commenting on his appointment, Verkinderen remarks: "Chevin is the international market leader in fleet management software and has the capability to target companies across all sectors, regardless of size, complexities or geographical location. With a lack of international software solution providers in the Flemish, German and French markets, there is a huge gap for us to grow, particularly as more and more business realise the benefits that fleet management software can bring to their fleet operations."
