Vic founded Leasing Life in 1993, and
through his use of skill, determination and sheer hard work, which
often meant working 12-hour days as well as weekends, the magazine
developed a strong brand and a loyal readership base.

To this day he is still fondly remembered by a
large number of lessors, not just in Britain but across Europe.

We at Leasing Life and Motor
Finance
would like to extend our deepest condolences to Vic’s
family and friends. However, his legacy lives on in the name of our
publisher, VRL Financial News – which takes its name from his
initials.
