THE Select Car Leasing team in the West Midlands is expanding its area presence with the opening of a second office, situated in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.
The Appointed Representative (AR) of Reading-based Select Car Leasing only went live in October 2021, in Romsley, near Bromsgrove.
Precisely 12 months later, Select West Midlands has cut the ribbon on a second premises in the Tachbrook Park business district of Leamington Spa.
The addition of two new staff, Hugh Roberts and Dan Tissington, takes the employee count form 10 to 12.
Stephen Hunt, principal at the Select West Midlands Office, says the compact new office also has scope for further growth.
The car leasing industry has faced some real challenges in recent months, not least when it comes to the availability of vehicles. But, in a way, we’ve actually enjoyed the test and there’s now a real sense of optimism at Select West Midlands. This new investment illustrates our commitment as we look to the future.
The Select Car Leasing West Midlands AR was born from SSE Vehicle Management, founded by Steven Gates and Stephen Hunt.
It’s fantastic to see our West Midlands Office expanding while also taking on new members of staff, and we’d like to congratulate Steven Gates, Stephen Hunt and their entire team.
As a company, Select is targeting growth across the board over the next 12 months, and that includes our regional Appointed Representatives, as we look forward to an exciting new market in 2023.
Graham Conway, managing director of Select Car Leasing
