Managing Director of Select Car Leasing, Graham Conway (left), receives the Number 1 BN25 trophy from Daniel Layne of Headline Partner QV Systems
SELECT Car Leasing was named the biggest leasing broker by sales volume at the inaugural BN25 event yesterday (5 February 2026), with Managing Director Graham Conway receiving the award on behalf of the Select team’s outstanding 34,195 contract hire sales orders in 2025.
More than 30 senior executives attended the unveiling of our league table of leasing brokers, which took place at the Swallow Rooms at Bentley’s Oyster Bar & Grill in Mayfair, supported by Headline Partner QV Systems.
The total volume of 116,000 units would make the BN25 leasing brokers the equivalent of fourth largest OEM by sales volume in 2025, with Ford just above them on 119,000 units (5.9%) and Kia just below with 113,000 (5.6%).
That 116,000 total would also make the combined BN25 the sixth largest leasing broker in size in the FN50 table of leasing companies.
“It’s terrific that so many brokers decided to take part in our first BN25 and the numbers demonstrate just how important their contribution is to overall new vehicle sales. But it’s not simply about numbers: leasing brokers deliver fantastic customer service, often to a diverse mix of SMEs, consumers and major corporate fleets,” commented Ralph Morton, Editor of Broker News.
Plaudits also went to super broker Global Vehicle Group, which was named Best BN25 B2B Broker, achieving an impressive 17,862 vehicle sales last year (second behind Select).
An impressive third in the BN25 rankings was Manchester based Leasing Options, who racked up 14,666 orders.
The BN25 Fastest Climber went to Carwow Leasey whose sales volumes grew by a whopping 297% between 2024 and 2025, following the acquisition of GRIDSERVE Car Leasing, while Car Leasing won the BN25 One to Watch as a leasing broker on the growth fast track.
“Brokers are a vital part of the UK vehicle leasing industry, providing funders and OEMs with a flexible, innovative and responsive route to market. I am firm in my belief that the broker sector is only going to grow in importance.”
Thanks to Headline Partner QV Systems, Lunch Partner Leasing.com and Commendation Partners Partridge BMW (Best BN25 B2B Broker), Drift Bridge Group (BN25 Fastest Climber), and Vertu Group Fleet (BN25 One to Watch) for supporting the inaugural BN25.
