SELECT Car Leasing will be expanding again in 2020 with a new channel for growth.
The Reading based broker says it will have sold over 19,000 car and van contracts by end of 2019, up 25% on 2018 as its aspiration arrows towards being the UK’s leading car and commercial vehicle leasing broker.
The ambitious programme will see Select aiming to add a further 25% growth as it instigates a personal contract hire fulfilment programme for the Grosvenor Group brands, Grosvenor Leasing and Interactive Fleet Management, based in Kettering, Northamptonshire.
“We have been working with Grosvenor for two years to bring this programme to fruition,” said Mark Tongue.
“Grosvenor are using our expertise in the personal leasing market to provide their customers with a PCH solution. This will be aimed at drivers wishing to opt out of the company car scheme, or for staff affinity schemes.
“It’s another example of how we are extending our reach with innovative plans and programmes.”
Select Car Leasing is run by directors Mark Tongue (pictured) and James O’Malley. Mark said:
In 2018 Select Car Leasing began a formal partnership with The Telegraph newspaper that integrated its website within the car leasing section of the Telegraph.
James O’Malley, added:
"The relationship we have with the Telegraph has been part of the mix that has seen 8 million visits to Select’s website during 2019. We are also working on additional channels that will see that number increase again significantly in 2020."
Select Car Leasing recently moved to new premises in Reading where it employs over 170 staff, with an additional high street presence in Reading town itself.
