I WENT to the inaugural London Business Awards last night as a guest of Paul Bulloch, boss of small fleet leasing company Concept Vehicle Leasing, along with the rest of the firm’s close-knit team.

Concept Vehicle Leasing was the winner of our Best Small Fleet Leasing Company under 250 Sales  last year and has won in the South London Business Awards before.

So the company has previous – they’re good at what they do. But Paul wanted to prove that Concept could stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in London.

Their entry – in Best Small Business and Best for Customer Service – was innovative: all seven members of the Concept staff were involved, contributing their own judgments as to why they should win.
