READING based broker, Select Car Leasing, has pulled off a significant double: winning LeasePlan’s Platinum Franchisee of the Year for the second year in a row.
The Platinum Franchisee of the Year award, from broker funder LeasePlan, measures performance across new business volume, year on year growth, along with maintenance and tactical sales penetration. These measures are then aggregated to determine an overall score and winner.
Mark Tongue, director of Select Car Leasing, said of the award:
We are very pleased to be named Platinum Franchisee for another year. It has obviously been a year of unprecedented challenges for us as a business and the industry as a whole and to be recognised with this award is a testament to the excellent dedication of our staff and the ambition for growth and success which everyone at Select shares.
Having been a major partner of Leaseplan for several years we know that Platinum Franchisee is one of the most important and respected awards for any leasing broker in the industry. To achieve this for two years running is undoubtedly one of the biggest indicators of the rapid growth the business has enjoyed over the last 24 months and is a source of immense pride for everyone involved with Select.
Tongue added that he was confident the Platinum Franchisee of the Year award would be the springboard for further growth in 2021.
The company now employs over 250 staff, and has expanded its national footprint with some significant ARs – Cameron Clarke in the north west and last week Leasewell in Wales – as well as launching a bespoke fleet management service with ODO and a dedicated EV section, called Select Electric.
