About Select Car Leasing

Select was started in 2004 by two men with a true passion for cars and people, Mark Tongue and James O’Malley.

With over 10 years of customer service experience in the motor trade, the pair had a vision to provide people with a smart and hassle-free way of obtaining a brand new car through the concept of leasing. From the back room of a house in Reading, they leased their first car in March of that year.

Supporting Charities

We're making a difference through our ongoing commitments to several national and local charities, including: Children with Cancer; Rethink Mental Illness; Sue Ryder and CAAP.

We are also a key sponsor of our local Championship football club Reading FC.

Reading FC

In January 2016 we became a key sponsor of Championship football club Reading FC and as a result, our company name appears on the dugouts and around the ground at every home fixture. We've always been based in Reading so it's a great opportunity for us to work with the club and engage the wider community. Company Director Mark Tongue said "Having recently acquired additional premises in Reading town centre, this is the perfect time to secure a partnership with a football club so openly invested in its local community. We are very much looking forward to working with the Royals and connecting with the club’s supporters."
