RAC appoints Jenny Powley to grow corporate partnerships

The RAC has appointed one of the UK auto industry’s most respected sales directors to lead its growing corporate partnerships division.

Former sales director at Allstar, Jenny Powley takes up the same role in corporate partnerships at the RAC and will play a central part in the strategic development and delivery of the Business Services division, which represents more than five million motorists.

Powley, an expert in dealing with large and often complex organisations with a variety of needs both nationally and internationally, will report into Director of business services David Aldridge.

She said: “The UK has a thriving motor industry within all segments of the market from large corporates to SMEs and, now more than ever, it is vital they are supported by partners delivering the most effective and efficient outcomes.”

“The RAC is committed to being the market leader and is already working with outstanding brands and organisations, which is part of the company’s innovative and exciting approach to establishing and growing relationships.”

“Throughout my career, I have looked to create sustainable solutions to support customers and achieve business objectives and, with the dedicated team we have in place across the RAC, I look forward to being kept busy doing just that for the foreseeable future.” ​

David Aldridge said: “Having Jenny on board is a real coup for the RAC. Her expertise in auto industry sales and marketing as well as superb client management and service delivery means she is second-to-none.”

“The fact we are continually attracting such talent is testimony to the work being put in by the teams on the ground and we look forward to developing our teams and services even further.”

Powley is joined in her role by new account team members, including former Copart account manager Martyn Buchan and Martin Breen, a formed DHL and JLR manager, who will work across the country with clients such as Tesco, Hyundai and British Gas.

Diesel tops £2 a litre for first time ever
RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: “This is a pump price threshold that no-one wanted to cross – the average price of a litre of diesel has risen to a record 200.01p and is showing no signs of slowing, heaping more misery onto motorists. The cost of filling up an average family car is now £110, almost £32 more than it was at the start of the US/Iran war. This will be very challenging for households and companies that drive a lot of miles, from commuters, haulage and delivery firms, businesses with large fleets all the way through to sole traders. In a cruel twist, it’s diesel vehicles, which were once considered the most cost-effective option for lengthy journeys, that are now burning a hole in people's pockets.

Price of diesel reaches record high
RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: "The average price of a litre of diesel has now reached the highest level in UK history at 199.18p, in what will be a financial blow to households and businesses that use their vehicles regularly. The cost of filling up an average family car is now almost £110, £31 more than it was at the start of the US/Iran conflict. By eclipsing the previous highest price of 199.09p seen in June 2022, the diesel price has entered new uncharted territory. This spells pain not only at the pumps for drivers, but for everyone who buys goods or services that rely on diesel lorries and vans; undoubtedly these increased costs will be passed on to consumers.
