Gofor reports 40% growth after Blackburn site opening

Fleet management company Gofor has reported a 40% uplift in new business acquisition for H1 of 2025, aided by the opening of an additional office in England earlier this year.

Headquartered in Edinburgh, Gofor added its first office outside Scotland in May 2025, with the appointment of three senior team members at the Blackburn site.

The move was part of an overall new business drive by the company.

Graham Lesslie, CEO of Gofor, said: “We’re absolutely delighted with Gofor’s H1 performance, and the trajectory for the second half of the year is looking very strong.

“The new England-based team hit the ground running and has already onboarded net new customers.

“We’ve had excellent feedback from the market about our dual-location model.

“Whilst Gofor has always served the whole of the UK, having an additional office in England has made us more accessible and enables us to host our national customers more conveniently.”

Gofor reported that its newly onboarded H1 customers are a mix of sole supply and multi-supplier leasing arrangements for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) – relationships that the company believes will deliver further growth over time.
