Sam Patterson joins Breeze to drive business fleet solutions forward

As part of an on-going strategy to develop services for the local business market, we are pleased to welcome Sam Patterson to Breeze as Group Fleet Sales Manager.

With over 30 years’ experience in both family-run and main dealerships, from Cornwall to Hampshire, Sam is delighted to bring his skills to Breeze and the Volkswagen brand.

Sam said, “This is an exciting new challenge with a class-leading brand and well-respected local business.

As the only VW approved corporate fleet department in the South of England, the team and I are ideally placed to provide mobility solutions to businesses small and large, with a focus on working alongside our customers as they grow.”

Sam and his team will be visiting companies across the conurbation, helping fleet managers and sole traders to assess their automotive needs and advise on suitable vehicles from the Volkswagen car and commercial vehicle range.

The team can also help businesses navigate difficult decisions around electrification, charging infrastructures and vehicle choices as they prepare for an electric fleet.

Michael Gunner, Group Operations Director, added: “Breeze is committed to providing a comprehensive fleet offer for local businesses, and Sam will help bring our many support services – from initial Business Contract Hire to short-term vehicle rental and mobile servicing - into one easy solution for efficient fleet management.  We are delighted to welcome him to the team.”

For further information on the vehicles and services available at Breeze, or to arrange an appointment with the Fleet team, please email sam.patterson@breeze.co.uk or call 01202 713000.

Breeze Motor Company Ltd, Breeze (Southampton) Ltd and Breeze Motorcycles Limited are Appointed Representatives of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Breeze Motor Company Ltd, Breeze (Southampton) Ltd and Breeze Motorcycles Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of finance providers and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time.

If you are selecting a Volkswagen ID.3, ID.4, ID.5 or ID.7 then all prices shown are MDP (Manufacturer’s Direct Price), inclusive of VAT. Sold by Volkswagen Passenger Cars, a trading division of Volkswagen Group United Kingdom Limited. MDP includes: delivery to Agent, number plates, new vehicle registration fee, the first year’s Vehicle Excise Duty and VAT (calculated at 20%). Volkswagen Passenger Cars may charge the MDP at any time (this includes where there are government changes in regulation and/or legislation). There may be a delay to any MDP prices displaying correctly on our materials.
