Fiat Professional has welcomed Andy Waite into his new role of national sales manager, effective immediately.

Waite brings more than 23 years’ experience across senior roles in the industry and most recently held the post of head of sales for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles with responsibility for new vehicle sales – retail and fleet – used vehicle sales, and customer satisfaction.

Waite said: “Fiat has award-winning products such as Doblo and Ducato to work with, and is a brand that continues to win new customers and fans through its dedicated CV network, many offering extended opening hours in a truly commercial way.

“I’m looking forward to the opportunities ahead of us as we further grow the business in the UK market.”

Waite takes over from Richard Chamberlain who was recently appointed country manager, Fiat Professional UK.

“I am pleased to welcome Andy to Fiat Professional,” said Chamberlain.

“He has a significant amount of experience working with dealers and fleet customers and this is critical to maintaining the growth in market share, of Fiat Professional.

“Andy joins at a great time following the recent introductions of the Talento medium van and Fullback pick-up.”
