FUNDING provider Network has reached a double milestone by celebrating its 25th year in business and its 30,000th financed vehicle.

The company, a specialist division of LeasePlan, provides funding to fleet brokers, which in turn provide finance and management services to fleets of up to 50 vehicles.

Head of network Christophe Desplace said: ‘The broker industry has changed considerably over the past 25 years and is continuing to do so, particularly with the growth of the internet as a business tool. Intermediaries can now become BVRLA members and this is helping to regulate the sector.’
