Yorkshire-based Right Fuel Card, part of the Edenred group, has appointed Matthew Briggs as its new CEO.
Matthew Briggs has held a number of executive roles in the automotive sector. This started with building the UKs largest independent motor insurance assessing organisation. He then joined FMG Support and helped build its fleet incident management business which partnered with most of the UKs top 10 vehicle leasing organisations.
From there, he joined Universal Salvage PLC to execute the turnaround, which was successfully completed with its sale to Copart – the world’s largest vehicle remarketing organisation.
Subsequently he became CCO of the RAC and was part of the exco who ran its sale to Private Equity in 2011. More recently he was CEO of AutoProtect Group, which provides products, services, tech and data analytics to over 4,000 vehicle retailers in the UK&I and Europe.
Briggs will take full responsibility for the leadership and development of RFC Edenred, playing a key role in meeting the company’s growth goals whilst supporting Edenred’s ‘Beyond’ strategy, aimed at providing value added services beyond fuel cards to Right Fuel Card’s 30,000 customers.
Briggs says: “I am delighted to be joining RFC Edenred as CEO at a time when the global mobility and automotive markets undergo significant change. With change brings opportunity, and I am excited to be working with the RFC Edenred colleagues to develop our proposition and capitalise on the automotive revolution.”
