Spicerhaart has agreed a three-year multi-million pound vehicle lease deal with Audi.

The estate agency group had until recently used a cross-section of BMW 1, 3 and 5 series models at its 200-strong branch network throughout the UK.

Over the coming months, the 800-strong Spicerhaart fleet will be replaced by the Audi A1, A3 and A4 – each of which will be liveried in the colours of Spicerhaart’s respective brands – Darlows, haart, Haybrook, Felicity J Lord, Fine and Spicer McColl. Vehicles will be supplied predominantly through Essex Audi, which has a network of dealerships across the county.

Paul Smith, CEO of Spicerhaart: “We are delighted to have chosen Audi as our car fleet partner.

"They have one of the best in class model ranges, and I am extremely confident that when combined with our brands livery, they won’t fail to be noticed wherever they are being driven in the country.”
