CONGRATULATIONS to Garry Harrison-Lea who has set up his own brokerage GHL Finance as a Bridle Appointed Representative (AR).
Garry (left) is hugely experienced in the broking world, having worked at Academy Leasing and then continued with Time Finance after the takeover and prior to that at Lease4Less.
Announcing the launch on LinkedIn, Garry said:
“As part of the Bridle Group of companies, GHL Finance has uniquely strong buying power and state-of-the-art fleet management technology, with access to the eight largest finance companies in the sector.
“By utilising our Fleet Procure tendering platform, we have exclusive access to stock and pipeline vehicles unavailable elsewhere. With this high quality, impartial and unbiased approach, I plan to deliver excellent customer outcomes by acting with integrity and professionalism.”
Commenting on the Bridle’s newest franchisee, Tano Di Girolamo, Bridle Group chief strategy officer and head of franchise, said:
“I first spoke to Garry about 12 months ago, it was clear to me that we had a great deal in common and both agreed that there is still a place for the more consultative, professional sales specialist to thrive in what is becoming such a competitive environment.
“As a Bridle franchisee Garry will be able to ensure that he finds the best deal for his clients, from all the major funders partners we work with, offering more discounts, more availability, and more stock.
“I wish Garry the very best and look forward to helping him build and grow his brand.”
The GHL Finance website was built by Broker News partner Automotus.
