VWG welcomes new head of group fleet

Martin Barrow-Starkey is to become head of group fleet services at Volkswagen Group UK, taking over from Patrick McGillycuddy who moves to a senior role within the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand in the UK.

Martin, who will take up his new position on 1 March, joins the Group Fleet Services function from the Volkswagen Group Retailer Learning Services team which he has headed for the last two years.

In his new role, Barrow-Starkey will be tasked with moving Group Fleet into a new phase of its development, including implementing the new Demonstrator and Business Centre Contracts and delivering high quality services to the Brand Fleet teams.

Alistair Shields, group commercial services director for the Volkswagen Group said, ‘I’m very happy to welcome Martin to the Group Fleet Services team at this exciting time for the business. He will be building on Patrick’s great work, and I’m looking forward to seeing the successful development of this key element of our UK operations.’
