Europcar's new UK MD Ron Santiago
Europcar Mobility Group has named Ron Santiago as
its managing director for the UK.
Santiago was previously managing director for the group
in Australia and New Zealand and takes over from Gary Smith who becomes the group’s managing director for the northern Europe and US
region.
Santiago will
focus on deploying the group‘s Connect 2023 plan in the UK,
which aims at responding to customers’ new mobility needs and expectations.
Santiago said: “It is tremendously exciting to be returning to the UK where I worked for 17 years. Gary Smith has handed over the reins of an innovative and customer-focused business that has stood up to the challenges of 2020 exceptionally well, delivering services that go to the heart of the needs of private and business customers.
“In a challenging and complex environment, still impacted by the pandemic, I’m excited to work with our colleagues and customers, as we focus on providing the right mobility solutions to help the UK economy get back on track. I’m also looking forward to be developing and offering services that can support the government’s low and zero emission goals.”
