RICHARD Frazer has continued his association with leasing brokers by taking on the Planet Leasing franchise for Worcestershire.
Frazer has previously enjoyed working spells with broker funder Hitachi Capital Vehicle Solutions (manager of associates), and at the broker National Fleet Services (senior manager). More recently he has been running his own asset finance brokerage called Your Finance Friend.
While Your Finance Friend deals primarily with funding plant machinery, Frazer found there was a growing requirement for vehicle finance from his customers.
“I approached Planet and there was a mutual interest in having a presence in the Worcester area,” Frazer said.
The company was made an Appointed Representative in February 2020, and went live officially at the beginning of November with a branded Planet Leasing website, trading as Planet Leasing Worcestershire.
We prospect 30+ sized fleets on business contract hire. It complements our Your Finance Friend asset finance, allowing us to quote on vehicles as well as static machinery. What makes it work so well is the level of back office support we now enjoy from Planet Leasing.
