Alliance & Leicester extends commercial vehicle services

Alliance & Leicester Commercial Bank has launched a commercial vehicle sales centre, extending the range of services available to commercial vehicle operators.

The 2.5 acre site at Taylor Road, Trafford Park in Manchester will be used to re-market end of lease commercial vehicles to existing and new customers.

William Paterson, Director of Commercial Asset Finance at Alliance & Leicester Commercial Bank said: “Alliance & Leicester Commercial Bank has over 8 years’ experience of financing commercial vehicles for our customers and during this time we have developed a specialist team who truly understand the market. Offering a remarketing solution for end of lease vehicles allows us to provide a complete product offering to our customers across both new and used vehicles. This not only reinforces our specialism within this sector but also makes a strong statement about our commitment to the commercial vehicle industry.

“The new site comprises a 6 bay workshop which will be sub-leased to The Hulme Group Limited with whom we have enjoyed a good working relationship in recent years. The Hulme Group have over 10 years’ experience of operating commercial vehicle workshops and will provide Alliance & Leicester Commercial Bank with a full, on-site, vehicle service, MOT and refurbishment facility. With full valet services also on site, the Bank is uniquely positioned to prepare vehicles to the highest retail standards which can be financed for our customers via a range of funding options.”

To celebrate the launch of the retail Site, the Bank held a launch event on the 12th May attended by over 250 existing and potential customers and their families. Eddie Stobart Ltd, the UK's largest Transport & Logistics Business were in attendance along with their Stobart Motorsport World Rally Team. In addition, a hospitality trailer served guests a wide range of complimentary food and drink.
