Saviour of the Car Leasing Industry?
A bid to combat the poor image of the car leasing industry is being launched by Altrincham-based All Car Leasing. (Ok - who even said auto leasing has a poor image? That’s news to us and the number of happy leasing consumers I’ve spoke with - ok, let’s hear more what they have to say)
The company aims to call on the national network of Chamber businesses to help develop a franchise system. In an industry not constrained by regulations, competition is fierce, and the growth of fly-by-night companies is affecting the standing of bona fide firms, says Matthew Cragg, who started All Car Leasing seven years ago.
The firm, which has a staff of seven, and a turnover of £600,000 a year, experienced exceptional organic growth in the early years. But one-man-band operators with limited overheads and financial support, combined with the internet have hit established firms, he says.
