BMW, Toyota GB and Volvo Car UK have recommended the use of Leaselink for leasing brokers they work with and who want to order their vehicles for end customers.
Claire Hughes, Ebbon Automotive’s head of commercial partnerships, said: “The growth in leasing brokers using Leaselink really began at the start of this year and, after only a few orders in January, we saw over 200 new vehicle orders in February – the overwhelming majority of which were either battery electric vehicles or hybrids.
“We are currently talking to other OEMs that want to go down this route with the leasing brokers they work with as they see real advantages, on both sides, in brokers being users of the system,” she said.
“Leaselink provides greater visibility of the dealer’s order bank and, therefore, increased awareness of where the vehicle is in the supply pipeline and when it is likely to be delivered, allowing leasing brokers to provide accurate information to their end customers.
