Alice Altemaire, CEO of Mobilize Financial Services UK, said: “In a growing UK leasing market, developing our operational lease offer has been a top priority of the Mobilize Financial Services UK team, demonstrated by our growth in recent years. We are proud to have increased our fleet size from 12,372 end of 2019 to 22,413 end of 2022. I am delighted by today’s announcement of our strategic partnership with Select Car Leasing, one of the UK’s leading independent leasing specialists for cars and vans. It is a significant step towards Mobilize Lease&Co’s global strategy and contributes to its global ambition to reach a fleet size of one million vehicles by 2030. By launching SELECT LEASE by MOBILIZE, we will broaden our leasing products and services offering, including full multi-brand car and van leasing solutions, for private and business customers alike. And given our shared commitment to electric vehicle solutions, you can expect SELECT LEASE by MOBILIZE to deliver for the environment, too.”

Mark Tongue, Joint CEO and founder of Select Car Leasing, added: “As the UK’s largest and most trusted car and van leasing broker, we are delighted to formally announce this strategic partnership with Mobilize Financial Services UK. We are excited at the opportunity this brings to accelerate our growth in 2023 and beyond and deliver best in class mobility solutions to consumers and businesses across the UK, with a particular focus on electric solutions. This comes at a perfect time as the global electrification revolution gathers pace. We are also pleased to be joining with a multinational business to invest in and co-develop a new lease company, with all the Select brands right at its heart. It’s a truly unique move where a broker and leasing company can feed each other and thus provide true economies of scale and value to the consumer, helping people make the seamless transition to not only electric vehicles, but also charging and home energy."

Harvey was very patient with me as I couldn’t make up my mind. He found me a lovely car that suited my needs and gave me value for money. I look forward to my next transaction without the usual trepidation.
