Paula Adams
Operations Manager
Paula has numerous years’ experience as PA to Directors in the advertising and marketing industry (although she doesn’t look it!). Hugely efficient and ever popular with our customers and suppliers.
Paula handles all orders and controls the logistics around the UK. We have delivered from Perth to Exeter and Paula ensures it all runs smoothly. She even calls you a few days afterwards to make sure you are still a happy customer.
Paula lives in Wheathampstead with husband Rory and their two girls. She spends her spare time worrying about whether she has forgotten any details about our customer deliveries and is fairly relieved just to get back into work on a Monday in order to check.
Glen Newman
Vehicle Finance Manager
Glen has over 30yrs experience in the motor industry, with extensive knowledge of the dealer world and the broker market. He spent 8yrs as Sales Director for one of the country’s largest independent van dealers before setting up on his own then finally getting his foot in the door here at White Hot Vans.
He’s known and worked with Richard since the mid-nineties. Like all of us, he loves his motors, but these days he specialises in motor finance and works from our Cardiff office. If you want to know the best way of financing a car or van, you need to chat with Glen. What he doesn’t know about financing a vehicle is probably not worth knowing.
Glen lives in Cardiff with his wife Angela and their two girls. He spends his leisure time with the family in their converted campervan, following Welsh rugby (through good times and bad) and playing bass guitar.
