Ford UK's new Fleet Director focuses on EVs

Ford has appointed Neil Wilson as the next Fleet Director for the UK and Ireland. Mr Wilson replaces Owen Gregory, who had the role since 2016 and has now moved on to become Director of Commercial Vehicles at the Ford Customer Service Division of Ford Europe. 

Said Mr Wilson: “I look forward to introducing strong new products such as Puma and Kuga PHEV to our fleet. I am confident that our diverse range of LCVs will continue to keep the businesses of Britain moving.”

Mr Wilson joined Ford in 1999 and worked in manufacturing, planning and logistics before moving to sales and marketing in 2002. His subsequent career, at both Ford UK/Ireland and Ford Europe, has included dealer zone and district management, fleet and consumer marketing and sales planning.

“As Ford moves into the rapidly developing world of EVs, Neil’s strategic expertise will be an invaluable asset,” says Andy Barratt, Managing Director at Ford of Britain.
