Circle Leasing has appointed former marketing manager Tom Hadfield to the newly-created position of head of sales and marketing.

Hadfield returns to the courtesy car provider from Circle the Fix Auto UK bodyshop network, where he held the position of Head of Marketing since 2012, more than 15 years after he originally joined the business as marketing manager.

Hadfield said: “I am delighted to be rejoining the Circle Leasing team. The business has developed significantly and has built some exciting innovations which add huge value to our bodyshop customers. 

“Circle clearly has a strong pedigree, having won the ABP Club Repairers’ Choice Courtesy Car Provider Award for the past three years, and I am looking forward to building on this position and growing the business.”

Aidan Minogue, Circle’s managing director, said: “I am pleased to welcome Tom back to the Circle Leasing team. He has done an impressive job establishing the Fix Auto brand in the market, and I am sure that he will do an equally great job spearheading our sales and marketing teams. 

“I am looking forward to working with him to grow our courtesy car market penetration and to develop our pioneering MyFleet Vehicle Hire software’s user base.”
