NISSAN has a new fleet sales director: Mark Wheeler

Mark, who only joined the brand as national corporate sales manager in October from Motobility Operations, replaces Michael Auliar who is moving to a new role as regional director with Nissan Europe.

Mark will oversee Nissan’s corporate sales, public sector, contract hire and leasing and dealer fleet teams and will have responsibility for both passenger car and LCV sales.

The appointment of Mark Wheeler comes as Nissan’s corporate sales team looks to build on a record 2014, a year in which it registered 63,358 passenger cars to fleet customers – an increase of 13.6% on 2013.

Commenting on the new Mark Wheeler appointment, Barry Beeston, Nissan’s corporate sales director, said: “Michael richly deserves his promotion after the outstanding contribution he has made to our success.

“I’m now delighted to be welcoming Mark to his new role and I am sure he will bring a fresh perspective, dynamism and enthusiasm that will help to drive us to greater success in 2015.”
