As Managing Director, Neil will take responsibility for Northgate’s fleet mobility businesses in the UK and Ireland plus Northgate’s subsidiary businesses, Blakedale, FridgeXpress and ChargedEV. This will include both the Northgate and Auxillis Services branch networks.
A leading figure within the rental industry for more than 40 years, Neil has been instrumental in developing many of the service propositions that are now considered to be standard within the industry.
Neil has always had a focus on ensuring customers are at the heart of any Northgate commercial proposition.

Neil McCrossan commented: “I am proud to have been part of Northgate’s impressive growth and in accepting the role of Managing Director. I am looking forward to continuing to collaborate with a talented team under the new structure that focuses on driving growth and customer success for the future.”
“We are now firmly positioned as a full-service provider with fleet management, accident management, and telematics among our many products, alongside our insurance replacement business and network of workshops and bodyshops is well underway. We are proud to help fleets lower their costs, boost efficiency, and become increasingly sustainable at the same time.”
“Northgate will continue with its strategy of maximising customer efficiencies by providing a diverse range of mobility and LCV services. This includes specialist highways maintenance vehicles and refrigerated LCV rental through Blakedale and FridgeXpress and EV charging infrastructure for domestic and commercial solutions through ChargedEV,” added Neil.
Harvey Stead, the COO of Redde Northgate PLC for UK and Ireland commented: The appointment of Neil McCrossan to Managing Director of the Northgate businesses is an important step in helping to facilitate our next phase of growth within the UK and Ireland.
