Since then, he has steadily progressed through a variety of  roles, most recently being Supplier Sales Director, where he has consistently demonstrated strong leadership and a deep understanding of the business. In his new role he will oversee the company’s sales strategy and lead a dynamic team focused on delivering innovative finance solutions as well as supporting the Board in achieving the company’s goals.

Commenting on his promotion, Darren shared:

“After 20 years of service and shared success at Shire Leasing Plc, I’m honoured to step into the role of Sales Director. I’m excited to lead our talented team into our next chapter, continuing to build strong client relationships and drive results. Sharon leaves big shoes to step into and I am grateful to her for the development and wisdom she has offered me to make me ready for this opportunity.”

“I am so pleased for Darren. He has worked tirelessly to not only develop his sales teams but also himself. After 32 years here, I am confident in passing the baton on to Darren.
