TDS Ultra has appointed former Modul-System managing director Paul Railston as its new MD.
The ex-racing driver, who left Modul-System to take on a new challenge, joins founder Chris Stone and CTO John Stean and will lead a team of operational, technical, finance and sales professionals.
Railston will focus on pricing, operational efficiencies and margins. He will be responsible for existing large corporate clients such as SSE and SGE.
There will be an ongoing drive for business growth and Railston will make use of his wealth of experience to support the sales division. The role will include overseeing purchasing, technical administration and logistical planning.
Railston said “hard work and determination” had been key to his success. He has a track record of successful sales tender bids, winning accounts such as Amazon and LeasePlan for previous firms. He was also instrumental in establishing the Modul-Connect products, which focused on providing user functionality and real-time vehicle data; two areas where TDS Ultra excels.
Based in Southwick, near Brighton, TDS Ultra develops turnkey solutions for vehicle operators.
The firm’s software engineering team work extensively on large implementations and programme deployment, building dynamic solutions that have a “seismic, strategic impact” on how fleets operate. The company’s senior team have over 20 years of experience within the fleet industry.
A comprehensive client list includes SSE, which recently stated the benefits of working with TDS Ultra: “Driving events have fallen from 23 per thousand miles to 17.6 in just a few months; it means that employees have travelled 2.4 million miles more safely in that time.”
