DERBY-based Eurolease Car Contracts is looking to double the size of its 2,000-strong fleet in the next year. The company, part of the Holdcroft Group, which has a turnover of more than £140 million and operates 12 dealerships in the Stoke-on-Trent/Manchester areas, is anxious to acquire other leasing companies operating fleets of more than 500 vehicles.

The company's existing clients are primarily based in the east and west Midlands and include Misys Computers, Bernard Matthews and Virgin Cinemas. Eurolease supplies vehicles across all sectors of the market, but specialises in executive and 4x4 vehicles.
