Lowden and the Green Motion international management team plan to continue to focus on the onward development of the Green Motion brand worldwide, adding further countries to the existing international network of Mexico, Malta, the Netherlands and Italy.

“I’m supported by a superb management team, many of whom worked with me during my time at Thrifty Car Rental, and as such have a vast array of relevant experience,” said Ryan, who is now chairman of the UK Master Country Franchise.
