“Vesource was our first acquisition, providing us with our first direct relationship with a mainstream funder; however, we were already actively involved in the leasing marketplace via the Fleet Alliance broker network, which provided us with the tools to go out and do what we do well now. With their assistance and funder contacts, our proposition to our clients and new clients quickly built up a head of steam which lead to our company seeking additional growth through acquisition.

“Soon after, Compass Contract Hire became part of our group, adding further expertise in the leasing sector and a natural expansion to our lending portfolio. We also acquired an additional funder stream via its direct relationship with Lex Autolease and more recently Alphabet.

“IVL Leasing followed, this time bringing a wealth of fleet management services to the table along with even more competitive leasing options for our clients.

“Recently, we have acquired Total Fleet Services, specialising in offering top-quality fleet management as their core business. This seemed like a natural progression, offering clients a bespoke service product when it is needed.

“Having their SMR facilities is an amazing asset, especially as – in a rapidly developing market – some of the larger fleet management companies can take time to bring new products or facilities to the market. With our bespoke SMR product, we can adapt and modify our scheme to suit all clients’ requirements, and being in a service industry where ‘the client is always right’, having that ability is immensely valuable.”
