Tracey Cox and Mark Pattinson join the new standalone division, both in the positions of contract hire business development manager.
Cox has been with the company since 2006, and is well known to its customers in her current role at the company, based out of the company’s head office in Shrewsbury. Prior to joining Burnt Tree, she worked for another rental and leasing company in a number of rental and contracts roles.
Pattinson brings a wealth of experience in the temperature controlled vehicle sector to the Burnt Tree contract hire team, having joined the company from rivals Petit Forestier, where he spent five years as southern regional sales manager. Prior to this position, he spent 12 years working at Ryder in a variety of sales roles.
The news follows the recent announcement of the appointment of Mark Howell as Burnt Tree’s director of contract hire.
Howell said: ‘When I first joined Burnt Tree earlier this year, I said that I was looking forward to developing this new division of the business and applying my skills and knowledge to building a team of key industry sales personnel to sit alongside the already professional management and operational teams here at Burnt Tree. The addition of Tracey and Mark is the first stage in a series of proven experienced sales appointments that we have planned for the division over the next few months.’
He added: ‘These are exciting times for Burnt Tree with its ambitious plans in place to substantially increase its presence in the UK commercial vehicle contract hire sector. Tracey and Mark will play an invaluable role in ensuring that these exciting plans going forward are achieved.’
