Silverstone Leasing has appointed a new account manager as the Northampton-based vehicle leasing firm continues to expand its team.

David Purvis joins Silverstone Leasing with more than 25 years of experience in the motor trade. He began his career valeting cars before moving into body shop quality control and later new car sales at a local dealership.

David later transitioned into vehicle leasing and brokering to achieve a better work-life balance. He spent 15 years with his previous employer as a sales broker and account manager.

David Purvis said: “Everyone has made me feel very welcome and the office banter is second to none. I’m looking forward to the fast pace and busy days, and I’m sure I’ll fit in no problem.”

He added that the global automotive market continues to evolve, with particular growth in East Asian manufacturers. Electric vehicles also remain a key area of development across the sector.

Silverstone Leasing has seen sustained growth in recent years. As a result, the business is continuing to invest in its team to meet increasing customer demand.

Scott Norville, managing director at Silverstone Leasing, said: “Our business has grown rapidly over the last few years as we expand the team to meet customer demand. Appointing David is very exciting for us.

“His knowledge and experience mean he can make an immediate impact and support our clients. We are pleased to welcome him to the team as we continue to deliver a high level of service.”

The appointment reflects ongoing recruitment activity across Northamptonshire’s automotive and vehicle leasing sector, as businesses respond to changing market conditions and growing interest in electric vehicles.
