GLOBAL Vehicle Group (GVG) has hailed 2025 as a transformational year for the business, following the acquisition of Fleet Alliance, the integration of the LCV Group into XLCR and strong performance across all brands.

GVG now manages in excess of 70,000 vehicles and delivers around 18,000 vehicles a year to business customers across the UK, positioning it among the country’s leading B2B leasing broker groups.

“2025 has been a defining year for Global Vehicle Group. Our brands have all performed strongly – from vans and LCVs through Global Vans, XLCR and the LCV Group, to cars, salary sacrifice and fleet management through Fleet Alliance.”

“Together they give us a platform that can support customers right across the spectrum and deliver genuine value whichever brand they work with.”

Strength across vans, LCVs, cars and salary sacrifice

In early 2025, the LCV business was brought into the Group and effectively became part of XLCR, further strengthening GVG’s position in light commercial vehicles and van leasing.

The acquisition of Glasgow-based Fleet Alliance in June 2025 added a complementary corporate and managed fleet capability and enhanced the Group’s technology offering, including the eFleet platform.

This has:

Expanded the Group’s addressable market into larger and more complex fleets.
Strengthened its salary sacrifice proposition, including flexible, broker-based solutions with access to a wide funder panel.
Improved funder diversification, with no single finance partner now representing more than around 15–20% of Group business.

Hurst added: “Global Vans, XLCR, the LCV Group and Fleet Alliance each bring something distinct – sector expertise, strong customer relationships and deep product knowledge. Our focus now is on joining up those strengths so customers get the best of the Group, regardless of which brand is their main point of contact.”

Behind the scenes, GVG has continued to move towards operating as one integrated Group, while retaining the individual brand identities that customers know and trust.

“Our strategy is simple,” said Hurst. “We want to be the best B2B leasing broker group in the market. To achieve that, we’re keeping the individual brands that customers know and trust, but building one highly efficient operating engine that sits underneath them. Think of it as a single, powerful platform with a series of specialist front doors.”

GVG’s priorities for 2026

Building on the momentum of 2025, the focus for 2026 will be to:

Expand eFleet across the Group customer base
Grow Salary Sacrifice and Salary Sacrifice Light
Win new business with stand-out B2B leasing solutions
Support more clients with renewals and fleet changes
Build towards a single AI-enabled platform through modular development
Harmonise processes across all brands
Maximise Group synergies and purchasing power
Upskill teams and drive efficiencies

Hurst commented: “We’re not interested in growth for its own sake. Our aim for 2026 is disciplined, sustainable expansion – integrating what we’ve built, scaling our EV and salary sacrifice propositions, and making sure every one of our brands can offer more to customers because they are part of Global Vehicle Group.”
