Growing interest in broker channel
Whatever the talk might be of OEMs going agency and sidestepping the broker channel, what’s clear is that the broker market continues to attract significant attention. As we pointed out last week – and included again in this week’s newsletter – the broker fleet outguns the top of the FN50. And now we have Lookers investing half a million in the channel, and Stellantis funder Free2move Lease gearing up for an expanded broker role with the appointment of Matt Dawson. Bring it on – it’s terrific to see such interest in this vibrant sector.

Broker News is expanding its coverage of the sector with greater insights and deep-dives in the broker market to broaden understanding of trends in the sector. It’s part of our investment in the leasing broker world. So while Broker News will continue to be free to air, Broker News+ will require a modest subscription to read the stories. We’re excited to bring you this new development and looking forward to your reaction to this brand new section.
