East Midlands RH Commercial Vehicles (RHCV) is investing £6.4 million in its rental division, RH Rentals, to expand its offer and team.

Robert Pick joins RHCV in the new position of financial director, having previously been financial director at Charthire the rental business which was acquired by TOM Vehicle Rental last year.

“We’re delighted that Robert and Dan have joined the team, it is a huge boost to RH Rentals, giving us even more expertise at a time of growth in this sector.  Their appointment and the investment in new vehicles to boost our fleet, reflects the growth in the UK commercial vehicles rentals sector which is expected to grow.”
