VEHICLES. Most of us drive one, but we all have different personal tastes, needs and opinions when it comes to what we sit in and live with, as well as how we fund it – which is where Academy Leasing solutions help sourcing vehicles and more.

As with most important decisions in life it is best to be in receipt of all the options and facts in order to make the right choice and minimise the associated risks of getting it totally wrong.

Academy Leasing Limited celebrates its 30th year of trading in 2017. From humble beginnings – a small office above a fruit and veg shop – it has grown into a multi-faceted business with two-storey offices in Warrington and over 40 staff.

Academy Leasing solutions

With a net worth in excess of £4m, Academy recently became part of 1pm plc, a FTSE stock exchange listed group of companies. Its growth has been impressive, and its vehicles divisional manager Garry Harrison-Lea explains how.

He says: “Academy has never been a business that follows the competition. We live in a world these days where you can go online and price up any vehicle on any profile within seconds.

“Whilst we have indicative offers on our website, we don’t see the logic of bombarding clients with more information than necessary, nor showing deals they may not want nor be eligible for.

“Yes, we have the word leasing in our name, and the competition relentlessly market Contract Hire on their portals, but what if you don’t want to lease? Or by virtue of usage it isn’t the right product for you?

“Our desire has always been to work with clients, not be some faceless ‘online chat only’ entity.

“Our sales team are all able to visit clients, and that’s a very deliberate and alternative way of working. We want to help people get it right, whether it’s Lease, Contract Hire or Purchase, and our high customer retention bears out that it works and our clients appreciate it.”

More than just a vehicles broker

Garry  continues: “The other benefit we offer is a one-stop solution for business clients.

“Academy are far from just a vehicles broker. We have an Asset Division too, so clients source/fund vehicles from us, as well as all funding all types of capital equipment too.

“It’s incredibly diverse, from gym equipment for schools and Premier League football clubs, to laser tattoo removal equipment in salons, to excavators and surveying equipment for the construction industry.

“We do pretty much everything, even business loans and invoice discounting. The banks are so limited in their desire to assist with such things these days, and because we look beyond the asset type and underwrite in-house we can often step in and assist.”

If you feel you would benefit from speaking with someone from Academy, you can call them on 01942 408520.
