Finance broker First Vehicle Leasing is recruiting additional sales staff as a result of record growth in 2015.

Having funded more than £48 million of vehicle transactions throughout its latest financial year, the firm is set to increase its sales team by 50%, employing an extra 10 full-time staff members.

Marcus Kelly, head trainer at First Vehicle Leasing (pictured), said: “We are investing significantly in our sales resource to capitalise on the market opportunity to achieve further high growth over the years ahead.

“Currently the vehicle leasing market is sufficiently robust, enabling us to commit further resources to handle the flow of enquiries coming through and to help manage a marked rise in demand for our services.

“The last year has seen us improve processes and introduce a CRM system to enhance customer services in response to new compliance rules and regulations in the car leasing sector.”
