Crynodeb
This is the largest independent automotive leasing business in Europe with their southern head office based in Milton Keynes.
From their base in Milton Keynes, they supply businesses with highly efficient fleet finance and management solutions for their company cars and vans.
As a large firm they have maintained an impressive rate of organic growth by providing customers with an irresistible combination of reliability, ingenuity, and value for money. Their financial strength, scale of infrastructure and high calibre systems provide them with an enviable platform for growth, but it is their people that have delivered the goods.
Customer focus is a much-used cliché that is so rarely delivered, but the culture of their business really does encourage enthusiasm, initiative, and a genuine desire to deliver the extra mile in customer service.
The ability to stand out from the crowd in this way is seen as fundamental in their plans to expand the business to the next level.
