Northgate, a partner at this April’s Great British Fleet Event, has promoted Patric Riley to the role of UK operations director, driving growth in its LCV hire and fleet mobility solutions.
Operating on a national level, Riley will now oversee the national operations of Northgate’s 68 branches and 51 workshops.
The new role will draw on his experience as a head of territory at Northgate since 2020. He also previously spent 10 years as the UK rental operations manager for Auxillis, part of the Redde Northgate Group.
Tim Bailey, UK fleet director for Redde Northgate, commented: “I’m delighted to announce Patric’s promotion to the role of UK operations director. It’s great to see him stepping up from his head of territory role, extending his responsibilities to the entire UK network.
“It’s also great to be able to promote talent from within our existing team. Patric’s fundamental understanding of our business and the needs of our customers will prove instrumental for the next phase of Northgate’s growth in 2024.”
Riley commented: “I look forward to continuing my career with Northgate, working closely with our management teams to ensure that as we continue to grow as a business, our exceptional approach to customer service evolves alongside this, helping fleets to remain efficient, well managed and increasingly sustainable.”
