DALLAS — This morning, Vehicle Acceptance Corp. named a new national sales director and a new branch manager for its Carmel, Ind., location.

Taking on the role of national sales director is Allan Couch, while Jeff Baldwin will lead the new office as branch manager.

The company said Couch has years of experience with a Fortune 200 company.

"These two gentlemen will complement our current staff very well," said Jonathan Neubauer, chief executive officer of Vehicle Acceptance.

"They are both eager and willing to get started with growing Vehicle Acceptance even faster than our current pace," he continued. "Sara (Upton, chief operating officer) and I will be by their side to make sure transitions are smooth and portfolio growth rates are appropriate."

VAC helps buy-here, pay-here dealers by offering services through five national branch locations.

"I am excited about the opportunity to help shape VAC marketing activities and carry on what is already a solid marketing platform," said Couch.

"VAC has done a great deal in recent years to advance their business, and I'm pleased to be a part of furthering these gains and building the VAC brand," he added. 

As for Baldwin, officials said the company will be starting in Carmel with a large book of business that was successfully created by Beth Kishmarton and the team in the Cleveland office.

Company executives went on to say that the AFCD relationship is "certainly rewarding for all parties involved, especially dealers."
