Broker fleet has substantial impact
I met plenty of leasing brokers enjoying a night out at the FN50 – including those on my table kindly hosted by Fleet Procure. But bumping into Synergy’s Paul Parkinson gave me the best perspective on the night. “The broker fleet is over 400,000,” said Paul. “If brokers were a funder that would put us top of the FN50.” It was a salient, well-observed point. We’ve analysed it in more detail in our lead story.
The charitable kindness of brokers
Apart from the influence on the fleet sector, the other thing that amazes me about many leasing brokers is the amount of charity work that goes on. This week we have two stories, one from Fleet Alliance about helping the disadvantaged in Glasgow and the second on Skyfleet’s aid to help Ukraine. It’s fantastic work. Thank you both.
