ACTIVA Contracts has expanded its sales team.

The Milton Keynes division of Arnold Clark Finance has created two new management positions, recruited a new area sales manager and is planning on further recruitment.

The appointments at Activa Contracts are:

• Sally Lewis promoted from South West area manager to the newly created position of national sales manager with responsibility for what will be an 11-strong sales team.
• Peter Renton promoted from area manager for East Midlands and East Anglia to head up a newly-created four-strong sales resource department.
• Appointed Steve Callaghan as area manager for the Midlands. He has joined from Vauxhall Motors where he gained vast fleet industry experience during a 16-year career latterly holding the post of commercial vehicle fleet sales manager.

Activa Contracts sales and marketing director Lisa Temperton said: “Our willingness to deliver bespoke products is proving successful in securing new fleet contracts and thus we require greater resource to manage the business wins and deliver first-class in-life vehicle management.”

Temperton said she was busy recruiting two further area managers.
