New Leasys emerges from combined Stellantis brands
We’ve lost one funder – Free2move Lease – but gained a larger one in the form of the new Leasys, which represents the combined strengths of both the old Leasys and Free2move Lease. The new business promises to build quickly and is targeting a 1m fleet across Europe by 2026. And leasing brokers will be an integral part of helping Leasys get there.
Places going for the Broker News Awards
The entries were sent out to our judging panel last week and we’ll know the shortlist of finalists by this time next week. But if you do intend to come we’d be delighted to see you – but spaces are filling up quickly. So act now to reserve your place in our celebration of broker excellence.
