Vertu appoints fleet director

Gateshead-headquartered automotive retailer Vertu Motors has appointed Marco Capozzoli as group fleet broker director as it looks to strengthen its position in the UK fleet market.

Marco joined the business in 2024 as fleet account director, working across the Nissan, Renault and Hyundai division. 

He brings more than 30 years of experience in the fleet industry, having held roles with leasing and vehicle manufacturers including Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen Financial Services and Nissan.

In his new role, Marco will lead the development and management of relationships with fleet brokers and leasing partners, supporting the continued growth of Vertu’s fleet operation.

He said: “It goes without saying that I’m delighted to be moving into this role at what is a hugely exciting time for Vertu Group Fleet as we look to strengthen our existing partnerships and also develop relationships with new manufacturers to expand our offering to customers.

“Being able to provide our fleet customers with the best possible deals is more important than it has ever been, and as Vertu Group Fleet grows and develops, I’m looking forward to utilising my industry experience to ensure that that is what we continue to do.”

The company works with 25 vehicle manufacturers and supplies more than 45,000 vehicles each year to businesses across the UK through its dedicated fleet team. 

Marco’s appointment forms part of Vertu's strategy to strengthen its fleet offering, helping to deliver competitive solutions and enhanced service for business customers.

Jonathan Snelson, Vertu Group Fleet Director, said: “Marco has already played an important role in developing relationships across our Nissan, Renault and Hyundai Division since joining the business.

“With the extensive knowledge he has gained over the last three decades, he is the perfect person to step into this role so that we can continue to help customers navigate one of the most complex sectors in the automotive industry, delivering first class service as standard to keep their businesses on the road.”
