Not only are customers keen to snap up a shiny new vehicle, with plenty of deals being made available on the cars and vans already in stock, activity is already revving up.
While the latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers (SMMT) reveal a dip in new car and van registrations in January, we are confident that we will continue to see a strong pipeline of proposals coming through in March.
As the SMMT states, despite the current economic and political uncertainty, the UK van market remains strong and we believe that brokers play an important role in driving this growth. Indeed, according to the latest figures from the Finance and Leasing Association, the asset finance sector is on course to report a record level of new business in 2017 and from our perspective 2018 is shaping up to be another significant year of growth.
To support this growth and ensure our broker partners can make the most of the opportunities available to them, we have worked to improve our service by launching a new web portal and app, a new suite of documentation and appointing regional Business Development Managers across the country.
We understand that time is money and that brokers need to be able to provide their customers with swift decisions. We are ready for the busy period ahead and are looking forward to supporting our broker partners now and in the future.
