Hyundai UK has appointed Michael Stewart as fleet director.

Stewart, who replaced Guy Pigounakis, comes from a 17-year career across brands such as Mazda, Nissan and Vauxhall.

His focus has been on leasing, dealer fleet and the Motability scheme for disabled people.

Stewart said: “I’m delighted to be joining Hyundai Motor UK at such an exciting time for the brand. Hyundai is a company with an already strong product line-up which is perfectly suited for the changing fleet market and there is a great deal more to come.

“It is also highly-regarded in the UK fleet market not just for its products but also for the standard of the services it offers its fleet customers. I am looking forward to further enhancing the brand’s business offering and reputation in the sector.”

Tony Whitehorn, president and chief executive officer for Hyundai Motor UK, said: “Michael Stewart’s appointment is an important one for Hyundai UK as we work on growing our market share, building on the reputation we’ve earned from fleet operators large and small.
