AA Drivetech appoints Paul Holmes as divisional head
Paul Holmes, formerly Head of AA Risk Management Solutions, has been appointed Director of the FleetSafe division of AA DriveTech, the AA Group brand responsible for all fleet-related training and driver risk management activities.
Commenting on the appointment, AA DriveTech Managing Director, Jim Kirkwood, said, “With the absorption of AA Risk Management Solutions into AA DriveTech we have now created the most powerful force in the field of occupational driver risk management. With over 300 customers between us we knew we had to strengthen the management team and Paul’s mix of experience, market knowledge and track record of successful account management made him the ideal choice.”
In this new role Paul Holmes leads a highly experienced team of existing AA DriveTech fleet specialists, notably: Sarah Austin, FleetSafe Customer Care Team Manager; Tracey Bass, FleetSafe Sales Co-ordinator; Alison Crump, Corporate Risk Team Manager; Suzanne Linturn, Business Development Manager; Matt Rapier, Business Development Manager; David Slack, Business Development Executive
“Before the AA and DriveTech came together we had different, but often complementary, product offerings,” says Paul Holmes. “We will not only be amalgamating and refining those but, thanks to the AA’s vast resources, be developing new ones which will give our customers unrivalled choice in meeting their needs. Although ‘one stop shop’ is a very over-used phrase these days it really does apply in our case.”
AA DriveTech provides a full range of risk-reducing products for business drivers including: online risk assessments; online driver education modules, corporate risk audits; licence checking; practical in-vehicle on and off road training; topic-specific educational workshops; ‘permits to drive’; policy document templates and will be announcing further developments in their product range in the not too distant future.
A final thought from Paul Holmes: “Despite the fact that the AA is one of the biggest and most well respected names in the motoring sector we will continue to provide personal service, attention to detail, unrivalled quality, and effective products that yield quantifiable savings.”
