NEW courtesy car provider Circle Leasing has delivered its 1,000th vehicle after three months of trading.

The company supplies courtesy cars to independent repairers and was launched by Dennis Studholme, who founded the leasing company that became First National Vehicle Contracts (FNVC), and Aidan Minogue, formerly head of First National Vehicle Holdings' bodyshop division.

Sales director Marc Studholme said: 'We have far exceeded our own expectations, smashing our initial targets and feel confident for the future.'
