Laver brings over 20 years of experience in the automotive sector and previously led ALD Automotive as managing director, achieving double-digit growth in the corporate fleet segment.

Laver said: “As part of our PowerUP 2026 strategy, we plan to leverage our unparalleled industry expertise and data sources to shape the future of mobility and achieve excellence across our four priority areas: operational efficiency, client value, corporate responsibility, and profitability.”
