SALES at Select Car Leasing Preston were up 20 per cent across the last financial year, a record year-on-year growth for the Lancashire AR.
Select Car Leasing Preston is led by Principals Steven Clarke and Tony Cameron. Together, they formed Cameron Clarke Leasing in 1994.
In 2020, the business became the first Appointed Representative of Select Car Leasing, taking advantage of the market specialist’s national buying power and sophisticated online systems.
Steven Clark said: “We’ve increased the number of leasing consultants by 30% compared with two years ago and that expanded team has helped us to increase our sales by 20% in the past twelve months.
“But our success goes beyond just adding more sales staff. We’re building better networks, investing in the workplace to improve staff wellbeing, and going out to visit more and more business clients.
“Those face-to-face meetings are so crucial; they give us a deeper understanding of what our customers need and help us to create stronger relationships.
“And as a business that’s now 32 years old, we’re also doing more renewals and repeat business than ever before.”
Former leasing consultant Ben Egleton was recently promoted to Business Manager in order to oversee staff development and training – and that appointment has proved pivotal.
Tony Cameron explained: “Appointing Ben to Business Manager has worked really well for us. He’s loved by the group and he’s helping everyone to thrive.
“In my view, this is the best team we’ve ever had – and we’re looking to recruit more leasing consultants by the end of summer.”
This year the national business Select Car Leasing was ranked top of our first BN25 leasing broker table, with 34,195 sales in 2025. Last month it was crowned Broker of The Year at the 2206 Broker News Awards.
