Leading multi-platform technology company FOD Mobility Group has appointed Joe Howick as group CEO.
Howick has been serving as Fleetondemand CEO, and formerly chief commercial officer, on the group’s executive board since he joined the company in 2019 as part of Fleetondemand’s acquisition of FleetEurope.
Howick has a track record of almost 30 years’ senior commercial experience in the fleet and rental industries, including previous positions at FleetEurope, Zenith and Leasedrive Group.
In his new capacity, Howick will work closely with the leadership team to continue driving the strategic growth of FOD Mobility Group’s business & technology throughout the UK and Europe.
He commented: “I am delighted to be leading the next phase of growth for the Group, building on the success of the business. The recent implementation of our new business development strategy is well underway, and our current focus is to continue building our existing customer base in the UK, and expanding our presence in the European market.”
FOD Mobility Group’s founder Justin Whitston will move to a new role as non-executive director as part of this natural succession plan and remains the majority shareholder of the group. He will continue to work closely with the executive board supporting the continued growth of the Group.
Whitston added: “The timing is right for Joe to lead the group onwards into the next chapter of the company’s development and I look forward to supporting him and the team in the continued success of the business.”
