Leasing Options has surprised two of its longest serving members of staff with an all-staff presentation to say thank you for their ongoing commitment and hard work.

Rob Heys, sales support, and Michelle Fairclough, sales support manager at Leasing Options, are celebrating 20 years at the Manchester-based car leasing company.

Nigel Brain, co-founder and CEO of LeasingOptions.co.uk, said: “Rob and Michelle are two incredible members of our Leasing Options family and to have had their hard work, dedication and support for over 20 years means more than we can say.

“They joined our business at a pivotal time and have been a fundamental part of our growth and success. We’re so proud and thankful to have both support us.”

Heys, a keen mountain biker, joined Leasing Options from Peugeot where he was responsible for handling fleet and commercial sales and support.

During his time at Leasing Options, he has worked across various teams and functions taking responsibility in supporting franchisee partners amongst other duties.

Fairclough joined from Smith Knight Fay Bolton Audi and was quickly promoted to team leader for the franchise partners team and in the time since, has grown to take over control of the Leasing Options admin team for departments such as quote, proposals and order documentation.

Fairclough said: “It’s been an amazing privilege to see Leasing Options grow so much over the years. I love being part of the family and can’t wait to be part of the next Leasing Options chapter.”

In acknowledgement of their long service, both have received, amongst other gifts, a personalised Mont Blanc Pen and £1,000 cash.

The pair have also been invited to a celebratory dinner with the senior management team and were presented with their gifts at the company’s recent Jubilee party celebrations.
