THE Small Fleet Leasing Awards 2014 has received a bumper entry in only its second year.
Run by the websites Business Car Manager and Business Vans, the Small Fleet Leasing Awards highlight the very best companies providing leasing services to the SME sector.
With significant backing from Alphabet, Arval, LeasePlan’s Network brand, Lex Autolease, Nexus Vehicle Management and Applied Driving Techniques, this year there were 55 entries for seven categories.
From the seven category winners, there will be chosen the Small Fleet Leasing Company of the Year. Last year this was won by Fleet Alliance.
