New Board Level Appointment At Commercial Vehicle Contract Hire And Fleet Management Specialist

Commercial vehicle contract hire and fleet management specialist, Prohire Plc, has announced the appointment of David Barlow as its new Group Commercial Director (effective March 3rd, 2014).

In his new role, David will be responsible for Prohire’s new vehicle procurement and all aspects of the company’s supply chain management through to contract implementation.
