A commitment to small business success is the primary focus of FleetPartners’ business development manager, Dellyn Mortleman.
When she first started out in the automotive industry over 25 years ago, Dellyn never imagined the incredible journey ahead. Early on, she had the chance to work closely with small businesses, learning about their ambitions and helping to overcome their fleet challenges.
“It didn’t take long for me to realise how much I loved finding solutions to help businesses thrive,” she says. “Fast forward to today, and, as a Business Development Manager at FleetPartners, I’m lucky to still be doing what I’m passionate about – helping small businesses succeed.”
The path that led her here has been anything but boring. Dellyn worked for 20 years at the Waikato Times selling automotive advertising, including eight years managing the Motor Times, so it’s fair to say she knows a thing or two about her industry.
Her experience has taught her the value of delivering real results for businesses. Now, at FleetPartners, she focuses on helping companies make smart decisions about vehicle leasing so they can grow without stressing over cash flow or flexibility.
Dellyn says what she loves most about her role is building relationships that go the distance. Some conversations she has are about sorting a single lease but many turn into long term partnerships.
“The more I work with clients, the better I understand their goals, which means I can tailor leasing solutions that truly fit each client’s needs. Seeing the difference our solutions make in their businesses is what makes it all worth it.”
Another thing that keeps Dellyn energised is how fast things are changing in the leasing world.
“We’re living at a time when the vehicles are increasingly varied, with so many new makes and models in the market or coming soon – EV, PHEV, HEV etcetera,” she explains.
In addition, businesses’ needs are evolving all the time and FleetPartners is constantly innovating new tools and technology to support its customers.
Being local is a huge bonus for Dellyn.
“The business community is full of energy and collaboration, and it’s always inspiring to be part of it, she says. “Whether it’s hosting events or chatting about tailored solutions at dealership Fleet days, every interaction reminds me why I love what I do.”
At heart, Dellyn is driven by a simple goal – to make leasing as easy and accessible as possible. Whether it’s helping a small business take the plunge with their first fleet vehicle or teaming up with dealerships to create smarter options, she wants every client to feel supported and confident in their choices.
Looking ahead, Dellyn is excited about what’s next for FleetPartners.
“Along with the businesses we work with, we’ll tackle the challenges, embrace new ideas, and keep finding ways to help businesses succeed.”
