CONGRATULATIONS to Manchester-based leasing broker VIP Gateway for being recognised as one of Arval’s top performing leasing brokers.
It comes after VIP Gateway has increased H1 sales year on year by over 100%, and demonstrates the sharp growth curve VIP is on, having only started underwriting with Arval 18 months ago.
The award was presented to VIP Directors Luke and Shaheda Mears by Arval Head of Broker Scott Glover.
“We do a strong consistent volume with Arval including maintenance, so it’s brilliant and humbling at the same time to be chosen as one of Arval’s top performing brokers,” said Director Luke Mears.
“I think Arval understands our business model and works with us as a partner. As a funder, Arval is very dynamic and forward thinking and we are fast paced, so collectively we are able to get things done together very quickly.”
Luke also praised his team for the award, saying it was their hard work, drive, collective responsibility and accountability that was responsible for the Arval award.
“Our staff have the determination and drive for growth, with each department creating a great culture,” added Luke.
Scott Glover of Arval added:
“Despite what is still a young relationship, VIP Gateway has quickly established itself as an Arval broker and has been a pleasure to work with. It would not work without the cohesive approach and the whole of the VIP team has played a key part in this. Big congratulations – I am excited for the future to see them grow even further.”
