EUROPCAR Fleet Services has re-branded and is now called Volkswagen Group Leasing.

The move has been completed in a bid to bring the UK-based operation in line with other European countries.

Volkswagen Group Leasing will remain the leasing arm of Volkswagen Financial Services (UK) offering contract hire, leasing and fleets services.

Graham Wheeler, joint managing director at Volkswagen Financial Services (UK), said: ‘The re-branding is a strategic and positive step forward in our organisation. The core strengths will remain, such as our approach to treating customers and drivers as individuals, even though we now intend to undertake a programme of expansion.’
