The 27 appointed suppliers are dedicated van and commercial vehicle dealers with separate terms and conditions for the provision of this type of vehicle. This agreement builds on existing supplier contracts that LeasePlan UK already has in place to source passenger cars for customers.
The new convertor network was established following a rigorous tender process, which enables LeasePlan to offer the widest possible range of commercial vehicle bodies and ancillary equipment at competitive prices, whilst keeping customers informed of the latest legislation and full type approval.
Mark Lovett, head of commercial vehicles at LeasePlan, said: ‘The management and delivery of vans and commercial vehicles can often be complex. By working with professional suppliers that have in-depth knowledge of the latest vehicles, legislation and products available, we will continue to make LeasePlan stand out as leaders in commercial vehicle leasing.
‘As well as maximising the competitive terms from our appointed supplier and converter network, our key focus was to ensure that we continue to work with suppliers that deliver top-level understanding and professionalism for our commercial vehicle customers.’
