Category Winner:
Best Appointed Representative
About the winner:
Leasing Route describes itself as having one clear aim – to secure its customers the best lease arrangements while providing outstanding service. It offers car and van leasing for both business and personal customers. The business has been an appointed representative of Jurni Leasing since 2021.
Why did Leasing Route win Best Appointed Representative?
The Best AR category featured some outstanding nominations, making the competition exceptionally close. However, Leasing Route’s remarkable growth, coupled with its strong commitment to customer care, set it apart and secured the top spot. As one judge explained:
‘Leasing Route has a small but experienced AR team whose focus on customer care and service has helped them to deliver consistently strong annual sales ‘
Clear customer focus
The judges remarked on customer service as a focal point at Leasing Route and liked the strong customer testimonials. Customers praised the business for its transparency, clear communication, and support at every stage of the journey. One customer described their experience as follows:
‘The best car buying experience I’ve had. Absolutely zero pressure, nothing was hidden from us (everything was surprisingly clear – you know exactly what you’re signing). The team was very helpful at every opportunity and everything was also very fast and efficient. Exceptionally happy with the service, the price and the Mercedes. I will absolutely be coming back and thank you to Chris, Nathan etc for making it an absolutely seamless process. Thank you!’
Strong growth
Leasing Route initially operated as a solo venture led by founder Chris Jennings. Since then, the company has expanded steadily, adding one new team member each year and prioritising quality hires so that the business now employs a team of four sales professionals. The judging panel was particularly impressed with the business’s significant growth between 2023 and 2024, as well as its projections for continued expansion in the coming year.
What the winner said
“I'm delighted that we have won Best Appointed Representative," commented Chris Jennings (left). "A year marked by exceptional growth and over 750 successful deals. Our commitment to providing high-quality, personalised leasing services has been the cornerstone of our success, along with the hard work and dedication of our team we look towards achieving even greater milestones in 2025.”
