STOKE leasing broker Central Contracts has been awarded Broker of the Month by funder Arval UK for production/deliveries in May.
Ben Faulkner, Sales Channel Lead – Broker at Arval UK, recently visited the Central Contracts team to present the Broker of the Month certificate for leading the way in making sure vehicles were live on fleet.
The Central Contracts team also enjoyed Dominoes pizzas courtesy of Arval as a thank you for their hard work.
“The Broker of the Month Award reflects our consistency with Arval; they have been our number one supporter for three years now,” said Gareth Roberts, Strategy Director, Central Contracts.
“We love the way the Arval team operates – their communication is extremely good, they’re receptive to our views, and their turnaround time is fast, which enables us to react quickly to a manufacturer’s offer. All of that means we do significant volumes with Arval.”
Central was ranked fourth place in our inaugural BN25 league table of leasing brokers, with 8,228 sales in 2025.
