DMN Group unveils two senior hires
DMN Group, a provider of vehicle movement and fleet inspection services, has announced two senior leadership appointments following a period of growth for the business, according to a press release. Gary Xuereb has been named managing director of DMN Fleet Services. In this role, he will oversee day-to-day operations for what the company describes as a "rapidly expanding division." Xuereb previously held the position of group commercial director. Replacing Xuereb, Maria McDonald (formerly Avery) has been promoted to group commercial director. She steps up from her role as account director at DMN Rapid Logistics and will now lead the group's commercial strategy. The company says she brings with her 'customer-centric elements' from her previous post, positioning her to drive strategic growth across the business. These changes come as DMN Group continues to benefit from recent acquisitions, including Specialist Vehicle Logistics (SVL) and JLL Vehicle Distribution. The integration of both companies has 'brought enhanced synergy' to DMN's operations. JLL Vehicle Distribution, in particular, has reported record-breaking results for vehicle movements and revenue in 2025, with growth in contracts, client base, and staffing. Meanwhile, SVL's smooth integration with DMN's IT systems has helped secure new clients and 'driven unexpected growth.' Demand continues to surge across DMN Fleet Services, especially for service, maintenance and repair (SMR), MOTs, and bodyshop services. The company has seen its workforce increase by a third, prompting the need for what it calls 'reinforced management, guidance, and support.' Commenting on the appointments, DMN Group's managing director Nick Chadaway said the business is 'thriving,' adding: 'It all comes down to our processes and our people.' He said both Xuereb and McDonald 'know the business, the sector, and the company inside-out' and are ideally placed to lead DMN into its next phase of growth.
