Car and van remarketing outfit Greenhous
Remarketing Services Ltd (grs) saw its van business grow by 96%
last year, the company reported last month.

The company, which also reported a 37% sales
growth, linked the growth to the appointment of a dedicated
commercial vehicle team in January 2009.

Previously CV remarketing work was carried out
by the company’s general staff of remarketers.

In a statement, the company, which assists
leasing companies in their asset remarketing activities, said:
“Like-for-like quarter one sales has seen a 96% rise in van sales
from 2009 to 2010 and a 22% increase in the number of dealer
customers.”

grs’ parent, Greenhous Group Limited, reported
sales last year of £617m, 10% up on 2008, while post tax profits
grew 41% to £3.1m.

The group’s short-term debts total £60.9m,
almost half of what they were at year end 2008.
