• Optimise the fleet: Improve vehicle utilisation, control costs and strengthen operational efficiency.
• Inform decisions: Provide market insights, financial analysis and clear recommendations to support executive decision-making.
• Lead your team: Coach and develop the Property and Asset Coordinator, fostering a collaborative and accountable team.
