Jaama strengthens management team to support UK & international expansion

The changes include the promotion of Michelle Morgan, who joined the business a decade ago, to operations director with responsibility for customer support and implementation. Her former role of implementation services manager is now filled by the promotion of implementation manager Thomas Mansbridge.

Additionally, Stuart Mills, having started work with the company when it launched 10 years ago, has been promoted to development director from development manager with responsibility for Jaama’s development team and products. The new development manager is Jen Ahearn, who was previously deputy development manager and has been with Jaama for more than seven years.

The five-strong board of directors is completed by IT director James Thresher, who has also been with the company for a decade and is responsible for strategy.

The changes come on the back of expansion in the UK as well as overseas including the establishment of a new head office in Sydney, Australia and expansion into the US, Europe and the Middle East, where there has been a significant increase in sales with a number of major new contracts won.

Notably, Jaama’s international growth has been driven by existing UK customers requiring fleet management software solutions to meet their overseas corporate requirements.

Managing director Martin Evans explained: ‘The UK fleet market is the most mature in the world and Jaama is not only the leading supplier in the sector, but is also the most recommended fleet management software solutions provider in the country.

‘UK organisations collectively operating more than 600,000 vehicles now rely on Key2 and they recognise its class-leading functionality enables them to deliver a wealth of benefits that drives fleet operating efficiency, management and control. They want to replicate that effectiveness in other countries in which they operate and are increasingly turning to Key2.'

In 2015 Jaama anticipates further growth across all sectors in which it operates – public and private sector fleets, delivering systems to medium-sized contract hire, leasing and vehicle rental businesses and plant management operations.
