WELL, that was a great Tuesday for Fleet Procure! On 19 February the leasing procurement/order management platform had a record day with 333 vehicles ordered by 79 different leasing brokers and leasing companies, from 88 different suppliers.
Founder and Managing Director Lee Jones rightly took to Linkedin to showcase his team’s achievement of an order representing over £11m of vehicles but added modestly that “I have a feeling this record won’t stand for long though!”
Hyundai scooped the most orders of the day at 40, followed by Volkswagen (35), BMW (21) and Skoda (21). Polestar was Tuesday’s number five (16 orders) and holds the same spot in monthly sales.
For a brand only just on UK sale, JAECOO (above) has made quite an impact, getting 13 orders and the eighth most popular ordered vehicle for February on the same day, with 105 vehicles.
“This month’s top 10 cars and LCV by orders is looking interesting with both Polestar and Jaecoo having a great month!”
The comments to the post would also have cheered the Fleet Procure team, with a lot of likes and applause. ‘Getting Polestar on there has been a game changer, and so much easier than previous processes!’ said Shane Bracken of Select Fleet Solutions.
“Congratulations to the team on building a great team and wonderful system,” added Rafique Nadaf founder and COO of WeVee. “Nature always proves that people follow the path of least resistance! Build a great team and systems and the orders flow! Here’s to many more milestones!”
Fleet Procure is sponsoring Funder of the Year at the Broker News Awards 2025 in April, then, after a successful debut in May 2024, it’s looking forward to its second annual LIVE ride and drive event at Donington Park in Derbyshire on 21-22 May.
