Direct Tyre Management (DTM), a specialist in tyre management solutions, has appointed David Brennan as its new Chair. Brennan brings a wealth of experience from his senior roles in the UK fleet sector, notably with LeasePlan and Nexus Vehicle Rental, as well as over a decade of experience working with private equity-backed businesses. His appointment comes at a pivotal moment for DTM as the company looks to accelerate its growth strategy with the recent investment from Caledonia Investments PLC.
In his new role, Brennan will work closely with DTM’s management team to add value for customers and support the company’s strategic growth initiatives. His extensive background in fleet management and private equity is set to bolster DTM’s position as a leader in the tyre management sector.
Leigh Goodland, CEO of DTM, expressed excitement about the new appointment, saying, “It is undoubtedly an exciting time for DTM and our customers. We have a fantastic business proposition, and with the combination of investment from Caledonia and the expertise and mentorship of David Brennan, we will deliver market-leading customer service through our digital platform, while increasing fleet efficiency and reducing our customers’ impact on the environment.”
Caledonia Investments’ recent backing has enabled DTM to focus on strengthening its core pillars: customer service, team development, a trusted partner network, and its award-winning ESG strategy. Additionally, DTM is poised to leverage advancements in digital technology to enhance service delivery and sustainability for its fleet customers.
David Brennan shared his enthusiasm for joining DTM, saying, “Leigh has built a great team and business, and I am excited to join the DTM Board, supported by Caledonia as new shareholders.”
With these developments, DTM is set to continue delivering high-quality tyre management solutions that not only optimise fleet efficiency but also support environmental sustainability.
