“We are delighted to welcome Oliver to WEX Europe Services,” comments WEX Europe Services’ European Group Sales Director, David Holdcroft. “His extensive knowledge of the fuel sector and results-driven mindset make him ideally suited to the position of Head of Sales, while his vast experience of building close customer relationships internationally will be integral to growing the EEU market. Oliver will play a key role in shaping the future of the company across Germany and Eastern Europe, and we look forward to working together to boost customer service in the area.”

Claassen brings over 20 years of knowledge and experience to the role, having worked at leading fuel management companies across Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Hungary.

“It is an exciting time to join WEX Europe Services. Since acquiring Esso Card™, the network has grown, to provide a greater level of customer choice than ever before,” says Claassen. “The company has a lot to offer – and there are plenty of new developments in the pipeline. Despite the current competitive marketplace, WEX Europe Services’ unique customer offering stood out to me, and I’m looking forward to being part of their ambitious growth plans for the future.”
