Vahid Daemi, chairman and
chief executive of LeasePlan, said solid growth in profit was
testament to the strength of the business against a back drop of a
global economy which continues to present challenges.
The first half net profit
represents a record six month result for the company higher than in
2010 and 2009.
The company saw modest growth
of 0.26% in global fleet numbers, just 3,326 new
vehicles.
However, LeasePlan reported
nearly 10,000 additional unit sales of its full service fleet
management offering in the first six months of the year.
