BARCHON, Belgium -

In an effort to enhance the fourth Fleet Europe Remarketing Forum coming later this year, seven European wholesale market executives have been named to the Remarketing Advisory Board.

Helping to craft the agenda and more for the event that’s set for Dec. 5 in in Estoril, Portugal, will be this group that represents rental and lease companies, an automaker, an auction company and a pan-European trade organization. According to an announcement from Fleet Europe, the board includes:

—Pierre-Olivier Bard, Remarketing Director Europe for the Avis Budget Group.

—Ingo Schlosser, International Remarketing Manager at ALD Automotive.

—Ralf Kostrewa, Head of Sales International at Volkswagen Group Fleet International.

—Morten Holmsten, Global Sales Director at Autorola.

—Roland Gagel, Vice President Field Services at SGS.

—Wolfgang Reinhold, President of the European Car Remarketing Association CARA.

—David Baudeweyns, Sales & Business Development at Nexus Communication, parent company of Fleet Europe.

The announcement indicated the Remarketing Advisory Board has already had its first (virtual) meeting, defining current remarketing trends and exploring possible topics for the next Remarketing Forum in Estoril.

“This structured approach will ensure an even better fit between the content of the conference and the concerns of the industry,” officials said.

“The final agenda of the Remarketing Forum will be fine-tuned via future meetings, meanwhile allowing members of the Advisory Board to reflect and consult the wider industry,” they continued.
