Northgate has appointed Patric Riley to UK operations director, where he will oversee national operations of 68 branches and 51 workshops.
An internal promotion for Northgate, Riley has been in the role of a head of territory since 2020, which he took on following more than 10 years as the UK rental operations manager for Auxillis, part of the Redde Northgate Group.
Tim Bailey, UK fleet director for Redde Northgate, said: “I’m delighted to announce Patric’s promotion to the role of UK Operations Director. It’s great to see him stepping up from his head of territory role, extending his responsibilities to the entire UK network. It’s also great to be able to promote talent from within our existing team. Patric’s fundamental understanding of our business and the needs of our customers will prove instrumental for the next phase of Northgate’s growth in 2024.”
