Dawsonrentals Vans has continued to build its UK regional management team, with the appointment of two new area sales managers.

Ian Mellett has been welcomed to the company’s Reading branch, with Jon Armstrong joining the Cardiff team, both joining as area sales managers.  

The two branches of Dawsonrentals’ nationwide network will benefit from their combined automotive industry experience. Mellett’s previous work throughout the automotive sector spans 30 years, while Armstrong brings years of experience in the commercial vehicle sector, following a longstanding professional relationship with Dawsonrentals.

Chris Beeton, head of sales at Dawsonrentals Vans, said: “At Dawsonrentals Vans we are committed to meeting customer needs, whether it be through everyday assistance with vehicle hire and supporting equipment, or through more advanced new services, as with the introduction of our Specialist Vehicle Division.

“We are currently promoting the nationwide recruitment of experienced and valuable management that can help progress our diverse offer and drive our standards even higher across all of our branches”.

Jon Armstrong

Armstrong said: “My main goal is to build the Cardiff base as a strong, sustainable branch for Dawsonrentals, particularly at a time when the company is establishing a strong and reputable brand in the fast-growing commercial vehicle industry.”  

Ian Mellet

Mellett added: “I am looking to forge long lasting and trusted relationships with customers, both new and existing. It’s exciting to come and work for a company that clearly values its employees and clients and is ready to expand.”
